Environmental Responsibility

Efficiencies to make a world of difference.

We've taken a global, enterprise-wide approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions—from our fleets to our facilities. Our optimized network is a single integrated system that handles all our services, creating powerful connections between our company, our partners and the planet. We've partnered with manufacturers, government agencies and non-profit organizations to continuously advance our efforts as well as theirs.

We pursue efficiency at every turn and invest in alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles to pioneer more sustainable solutions with lower environmental impacts. And we can help you measure, manage, and mitigate your climate impact without sacrificing productivity.

Who This Is For

Businesses looking to grow more sustainably, measure their impact more accurately, achieve more efficiency, or gain an improved approach to meeting industry-specific requirements.

Ship More with Less Impact

From our deep experience in supply chain optimisation to our single, optimised network for all your package collections and deliveries, we’re ready to help you unlock new possibilities.

Fuel-Efficient Fleets

Leverage the power of one of the industry’s largest private alternative fuel and advanced technology fleets. We practice fuel reduction strategies in our entire fleet of 110,000 ground vehicles - things like technology-powered route planning to eliminate excess mileage and create reductions in fuel and emissions, and diligent vehicle maintenance to help us run efficiently. Our 7,000 low-emissions vehicles improve our sustainability profile even further.

We've also purchased fuel-efficient aircraft, retrofitted existing models, and brought 100 percent of our air fleet into full compliance with noise reduction regulations established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

Facilities

Our facilities are built to support our greenhouse gas reduction strategy. Our global headquarters complex earned the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. We also received Energy Star certification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. We continue to seek opportunities in renewable energy and to reduce energy use in our more than 2,700 facilities.

Optimized Network

When we reduce the distance we cover to meet our customers’ requirements, energy consumption is reduced and efficiency increases. By using intermodal shifting, we're not only able to choose the best transportation modes to meet your delivery time, it allows us to reduce energy intensity.
