UPS pushes to green its customers

U.S.-based UPS has become the first courier company to offer its customers an assessment of their shipment packaging based on environmental standards. Under the Eco Responsible Packaging Program, UPS will evaluate a customer’s packaging processes in three areas of sustainability: damage prevention, rightsizing and packaging materials. Senior Vice President, Engineering, Strategy, Supply Chain and Sustainability Bob Stoffel says the service is the most recent UPS has introduced to share its best practices with customers to help them green up their supply chains.
