Package shipping you can feel good about

You probably realize that transporting your goods and shipping your packages produces emissions that many believe contribute to global climate change. What you may not realize is that there is now a way to mitigate those effects. UPS carbon neutral shipping empowers you to take action to offset the impact of carbon emissions that results from your shipping.

Additionally, UPS will match the carbon offsets purchased for the first $1 million through 2010. It's a deeper commitment toward managing our climate impact.

How UPS can help you reduce your climate impact

Whether you ship hundreds of packages daily or only ship occasionally, you can use verified carbon neutral shipping to offset the climate impact.

Projects that positively impact the planet

We purchase high quality Gold Standard, Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS), and Climate Action Reserve (CAR) verified offsets, as well as European Union Allowances and Certified Emission Reduction offsets.

When you choose UPS, you are selecting a company that has already made great strides to reduce its own impact. Check out our comprehensive commitment to sustainability.

Understanding your CO2 impact

Measuring your climate impact can be complicated. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases are produced directly by some of your actions, such as driving your car. But other activities produce emissions indirectly, like using electricity in your home, or shipping goods and documents. Learn more about different types of emissions and how UPS calculates how much CO2 is produced by your shipping.
