UPS® has released its 13th annual Sustainability Report available at http://www.ups.com/sustainability. This latest report highlights UPS’s continued investment in alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles and a commitment to log 20 million hours of volunteer time by the end of 2020.
With its “Rolling Laboratory” approach, UPS accelerated its investment in an alternative fuel and advanced technology fleet of more than 5,000 vehicles last year, increasing the number of vehicles by 61 percent over 2013 and adding 1,100 natural gas vehicles
UPS also continued its long history of giving back to the community with a 2014 pledge to commit 20 million volunteer hours by the end of 2020.
