Which internal and external stockholders are positively and negatively affected by UPS’s approach to sustainability?

Solution

UPS is the world\'s largest package delivery company and is considered as a global leader in supply chain and freight services. The company has a vast experience in transportation and logistics and serves more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. Some of the highlights about the UPS\'s approach to sustainability are reported as follows:

The UPS Foundation sets global goal to plant 15 million trees by the end of 2020. UPS makes substantial move to renewable fuels or energy. UPS accelerates progess toward sustainability goals. The UPS foundation awards more than $2.4 million to expand global volunteerism. UPS pledges 20 million hours of volunteer service by the end of 2020. UPS highlights DO MORE WITH LESS.The sustainability efforts of UPS are focused on doing more to protect the environment, more to enhance the economy, more to dervelop empowered people and more to connect communities worldwide.

Looking at the commitment to sustainability and the nature and scope of the operations of UPS , I am at a loss to define what are internal and external stockholders. In a way UPS is enhancing the values to both internal and external stockholder in the long run. Although in the short term, employees and shareholders may be having the perception that they are losing some money because of expenditure on the environmental and or sustainability projects. Never the less in order to maintain global leadership UPS must strive to help customers with more sustainable solutions, delivering packages more efficiently, creating more connections, facilitating international trade and deploying advanced technology with least damages to the global environment/climate change.
