Union Pacific Railroad yesterday announced it recognized 16 customers and suppliers with the railroad's 2024 Sustainability Partner Award.
This is the second year that UP issued the award to businesses that demonstrated leadership and progress toward achieving their sustainability goals, UP officials said in a press release.
The award is open to UP customers and suppliers and was based on a company's sustainability efforts, such as the use of innovative business practices to reduce its environmental impact. Also considered was a company's track record of engaging and collaborating effectively with key stakeholders, including communities and business partners.
“Creating a more sustainable future is not a solo mission,” said UP President Beth Whited. “While rail is already the most environmentally responsible way to move goods across land, we're fortunate to work with many customers and suppliers who share our commitment to being a leader in sustainability and having a positive impact on communities for generations to come.”
Customer winners of the 2024 award are: Americold Realty Trust; Evergreen Line; General Motors; Green Plains Inc.; Occidental Chemical Corp.; Schneider; and Toyota North America; Waste Management; Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp.
Supplier winners are: Chevron REG; Niagara Bottling; SAP; Steel Dynamics Inc.; Stella-Jones; The Greenbrier Cos.; and Wabtec Corp.
Winners were honored Nov. 7 at the Union Pacific Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
