Through this program UPS calculates carbon emissions for UPS shipments leaving the Geiger facility, then purchases and retires offsets equaling that amount. Offset projects include reforestation, renewable energy (wind, solar, biomass, hydroelectric), methane and landfill gas destruction, wastewater treatment and destruction of industrial pollutants. For added credibility, these projects are carefully chosen by UPS to ensure that they are high-quality, meeting international standards. UPS's carbon calculation methodology and processes are certified by The CarbonNeutral Company and verified by Societe' Generale de Surveillance (SGS). We are proud to be carbon neutral shipper!
