              "The impacts of climate change and energy constraints are important issues
              for our business and industry. We have come a long way over the years, but
              there's still much more to do. We don't have all the answers. That's why we
              are working with other companies and partners such as SmartWay to develop
              more sustainable solutions for the transportation sector."

UPS Reduces its Own  Impacts - and  Helps Customers

Do the Same
Sustainability at UPS begins with logistics capabilities that make global commerce more resource-
efficient for millions of customers every day. UPS takes a comprehensive, global approach to
reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. This holistic strategy combines an optimized
network, multimodal shifting, alternative fuel and advanced technology fleet, which helps deliver
what matters to customers - and what matters for the environment.

Optimized Network: UPS handles all categories of service (express, ground, domestic,
international, commercial, and residential) through  one optimized global logistics  network. This
network serves the economy and environment the same way a public transit system serves a city:
it increases energy and carbon efficiency by enabling many individual trips to share the same
transport infrastructure. In 2012, UPS aggregated four billion shipments and delivered them
through a single integrated network, making each of those shipments more sustainable.

Intermodal Shifting: The various transport modes used in the transportation sector have
different energy needs, ranging from aircraft, which require a lot of fuel, to ships that are more
efficient. Through its intermodal shifting strategy, UPS determines the most energy  efficient modes
of transportation for any given shipment. That may  mean using a truck instead of  a plane, or a
train instead of a truck. This technique helps UPS remain flexible, resilient and efficient - which is
good for UPS's customers and the planet.

Rolling Laboratory: UPS tests a "rolling laboratory" with more than 3,1 00 alternative fuel and
advanced technology vehicles, so the company can monitor they perform in actual operating
conditions. This fleet has driven 350 million miles since 2000, and UPS aims to reach one billion
miles by the end of 201 7.

       Customer Solutions: In addition to managing its own environmental  footprint, UPS
       provides tailored customer solutions that help customers reduce their carbon impact
       as well. Through UPS carbon neutral, customers can offset the emissions associated
          with any UPS shipment— UPS will calculate the CO emissions, then purchase and
             retire the offsets. UPS's Carbon Impact Analysis nelps customers understand the
              climate impact of their shipping decisions.
