UPS has been involved with communities worldwide for many decades helping rebuild lives, cultural and social development and various non-profit organizations. UPS has worked extensively with United Way in contributing to it’s mission of supporting others. The company encourages its 450,000+ employees to give back to their communities in time and money to help the needy. They match 100% contributions of employees along with working towards greener planet. UPS has been incorporating battery operated delivery trucks in certain states and working towards a cleaner environment.

In my opinion, social responsibility and sustainability are vital for corporates to look at and am proud to say that some of the local companies in Seattle, WA are actively making a difference. Companies like Starbucks, and REI leading the pack.
