Smart Freight Centre Academy

In this episode of Smart Freight Conversations: The Leadership Series, we sit down with Scott Childress, Chief Sustainability Officer at UPS, a member of our SFC Community, to explore how one of the world’s largest logistics companies is tackling emissions head-on. 

 

Scott shares how UPS is: 

  • Scaling the use of renewable natural gas and CNG in its fleet 
  • Leveraging internal carbon tracking tools for Scope 1, 2 & 3 
  • Reimagining supply chains with customers using data-backed transparency 
  • Using AI and smart routing to cut mileage and boost efficiency 
  • Achieving year-over-year absolute emissions reductions 

 

Discover the milestones UPS has hit, the lessons they’ve learned, and the bold targets they’ve set, including a 50% reduction in carbon intensity per package by 2035, and the ultimate goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
