Award recognizes railroad customers and suppliers for innovative sustainability initiatives

Union Pacific Railroad proudly recognized 16 customers and suppliers with the railroad’s 2024 Sustainability Partner Award. This is the second year Union Pacific awarded innovative partners who demonstrated leadership and progress toward achieving their sustainability goals.

“Creating a more sustainable future is not a solo mission,” said Union Pacific President Beth Whited. “While rail is already the most environmentally responsible way to move goods across land, we’re fortunate to work with many customers and suppliers who share our commitment to being a leader in sustainability and having a positive impact on communities for generations to come.”

The award was open to Union Pacific’s customers and suppliers and was based on a company’s sustainability efforts, such as the use of innovative business practices to reduce their environmental impact. Also considered was a company’s track record of engaging and collaborating effectively with key stakeholders, including communities and business partners.
