Established in 2023, the Sustainability Partner Award “is based on a company’s sustainability efforts, such as the use of innovative business practices to reduce environmental impact,” UP noted. “Also considered was a company’s track record of engaging and collaborating effectively with key stakeholders, including communities and business partners.”
“Union Pacific is proud to stand side by side with our customers and suppliers, working together to find environmentally responsible ways to move freight,” said Executive Vice President Marketing and Sales Kenny Rocker. “By aligning our efforts, we’re building a stronger supply chain and driving better long-term outcomes for communities across America.”
Union Pacific’s 2025 Sustainability Partner Award honorees were recognized Nov. 6 at a ceremony held at Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha, Neb., where they shared their sustainability initiatives and projects.
