Insights into United Parcel Service's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways

As of 2024, United Parcel Service has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2), but not its value chain emissions (Scope 3). This means its reduction efforts currently focus on direct and purchased energy emissions.

Does United Parcel Service have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?

As of 2024, United Parcel Service has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.

United Parcel Service's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2035, compared to a baseline of 0.003 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Package Delivered in 2020.

Instead of reducing operational emissions, United Parcel Service has increased them, with 2024 levels exceeding those of the 2020 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
