May 16 2019 - 9:30AM
UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced Corporate Responsibility (CR)
Magazine has named the company to its “100 Best Corporate Citizens”
annual listing for the tenth straight year. The distinction
celebrates the standout environmental, social and governance (ESG)
performance of Russell 1000 companies across the United States. It
examines seven categories: climate change, environment, governance,
employee relations, human rights, finance, and stakeholders and
society.
“It’s good to see our ongoing sustainability efforts to continue
to be a good neighbor and to mitigate our environmental footprint
are being recognized as evidenced by UPS moving up 27 spots on this
listing year over year,” said Crystal Lassiter, senior director of
global sustainability for UPS. “We’re proud to be honored by CR
Magazine among so many other esteemed social responsibility
leaders.”
CR Magazine specifically recognized UPS’s sustainability
efforts, ranking the company 9 in the environment category and 16
in the stakeholders/society category, which together comprise more
than one-third of the scoring criteria. CR Magazine partners with
ISS-ESG to compile its annual “100 Best Corporate Citizens” list,
evaluating publicly available information from eligible companies
across 134 ESG performance measure and disclosure data
criteria.
