United Parcel Service

UPS is a United States-based global package-delivery and logistics company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Its services comprise transportation, distribution, contract logistics, freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and an integrated air and ground delivery network.

No UPS water sustainability success case can be discerned from its 2025 Sustainability and Community Impact Report. UPS' material-topic assessment and topic-specific disclosures fail to encompass GRI 303: Water and Effluents. Environmental reporting is focused on energy consumption, emissions, renewable power, and alternative fuels.

Water is only noted as an emergency supply shipped via the company's humanitarian disaster-relief operations. Though very helpful for people in trouble, this is not an operational water-preservation or water-stewardship accomplishment. UPS makes no disclosures on water consumption, efficiency, recycling, wastewater, watershed impact, or water-stress risk. The lack of water-related information hampers any meaningful evaluation of the company's water footprint.
