UPS reports comprehensive emissions data with third-party verification but masks deteriorating performance through intensity metrics rather than absolute targets. Emissions rose 3.6% in 2025 despite divestiture gains. Critical gaps: zero nature strategy, no water disclosure, no supplier engagement programme, and active obstruction of climate policy through ALEC and Chamber of Commerce membership.
