[QUOTE="ROBO MOD, post: 3804790, member: 51121"] [B][I]Award recognizes exceptional achievement in supply chain sustainability and freight transportation efficiency[/I][/B] The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) earlier this week presented [URL='http://www.ups.com/']UPS[/URL] (NYSE:UPS) with a SmartWay Excellence award, which recognizes leading carriers who have made significant contributions to reducing the impact of freight transportation on air quality. “UPS is committed to delivering goods to people in the most sustainable way possible,” said Tamara Barker, chief sustainability officer, vice president of environmental affairs and domestic plant engineering at UPS. “We are honored to be recognized by the EPA for our accomplishments and look forward to continuing our work to create smarter and cleaner communities.” UPS was one of 40 companies to receive this distinction, and was acknowledged for its commitment to using alternative fuels and advanced technologies to improve transportation and operations sustainability, as well as for its transparency in reporting SmartWay data on emissions reductions.
