Global Giving
One of the great opportunities presented by globalization is the spread of corporate citizenship around the world. Just like we want the right things for our people and our business, we want the right things for our towns, neighborhoods and villages.
The UPS Foundation is responsible for facilitating community involvement on a local, national, and global level. Since launching its global philanthropy program in 2004, The UPS Foundation has invested more than $42 million in charitable activities beyond the borders of the United States through 2008.
That impact can be measured by nearly $43 million in global philanthropy and more than 1.2 million employee volunteer hours in 2009.
The UPS Foundation directs its giving through four global giving strategies. These strategies leverage all of UPS’ resources - financial, human and knowledge.
Effective Volunteerism
The UPS Foundation helps to strengthen nonprofit capacity to meet demands for services through more effective recruitment and management of volunteers. Businesses strive to manage their employees’ time and talents effectively. Likewise, nonprofit organizations seek to increase both the number of volunteers on their rosters and the impact those volunteers have in their communities.
Leadership
The UPS Foundation works to improve nonprofit effectiveness through investments that encourage innovation and social entrepreneurship among current and future leaders of nonprofit organizations and agencies. As UPS works to develop a highly skilled, motivated and diverse workforce that responds to the rapidly changing environment around them, the company also seeks to support similar efforts in nonprofit organizations. The Foundation helps to create opportunities for nonprofit and for-profit managers to share best practices with each other so both might better achieve their missions.
Operations
The UPS Foundation encourages greater efficiency and effectiveness through investments that share knowledge resources, including UPS management and logistics expertise, with nonprofit organizations. While UPS is known best for delivering packages around the world, the company also has significant expertise in logistics and supply chain related services. UPS sells this expertise and knowledge capital to the private sector around the world, and seeks similar opportunities to share useful information with nonprofit organizations. When disaster strikes, logistics plans often create lifelines for those impacted. The Foundation also makes investments to help in disaster response planning as well, including the important roles volunteers play.
Sustainability
The Foundation helps to promote the long-term effectiveness and financial stability of high-performing non-profits that are delivering outstanding services to their communities. Not only do these exemplary organizations provide important services, but they also have a wealth of knowledge that can help other organizations enhance their abilities to deliver high quality services, helping more people and strengthening more communities.
Grant Strategy
Our expanding global philanthropy brings with it a new and exciting landscape — and it also brings new operating challenges. As UPS grows and expands, so does its capacity to touch lives around the world. As a result, The UPS Foundation must align its assets — financial, human and knowledge — on our primary focus areas: economic and global literacy, environmental sustainability, nonprofit effectiveness, strength from diversity, and community safety.
Employee Driven Funding
By design, much of The UPS Foundation’s philanthropy is driven locally. UPS operating units around the world have responsibility for managing grant programs — they identify needs in their communities, find suitable charitable organizations to support, and then recommend those organizations for grants.
The local grants typically align with the Foundation’s strategy, as outlined in its five focus areas, and tackle issues at the grass roots level, providing vital support where it is often needed most. This hands-on approach to philanthropy enables local UPSers to participate in the strategic programs of The UPS Foundation and to collectively impact some of the largest issues facing society.
The UPS Foundation sets the guidelines and oversees the approval process. This allows UPS employees an opportunity to have a direct impact on their community. By focusing on key issues tied to our business and our employee’s involvement, UPS can align with local, national and global giving for greater impact.
Global Impact Through Local Strategies
The UPS Foundation no longer takes unsolicited corporate grant requests. Instead, we are placing greater emphasis on our local regions and districts managing community needs through grants and charitable sponsorships. This funding strategically links employee Community Involvement Committees with local organizations that fit into the Focus Areas to create a year-round spending plan.
Each year, roughly one-half of the grants made by The UPS Foundation are awarded to local organizations with the rest going to global or national groups. Most are supplemented by the energy and passion of UPS volunteers. Pressroom News

UPS Ramps Up Post Sales Capabilities In Asia



Forges Strategic Alliance in India and Opens Call Centre in the Philippines

UPS (NYSE: UPS) recently announced plans to boost its Post Sales services in Asia by significantly expanding its Field Stocking Location (FSL) network in India through a strategic agency agreement with AFL, one of India’s leading logistics and domestic transportation service providers. UPS also established an Asia Post Sales Customer Support Centre in Clark, Philippines, to provide support for our Asia customers with mission-critical Post Sales needs.

“Asia continues to be an important market for Post Sales in view of its role as a global manufacturing hub. This in line with market predictions that indicate the growth of Asia’s contract logistics market overtaking North America in the next five years,” said Craig Foster, Senior Vice President, South District, UPS Asia Pacific Region. “UPS is expanding our Post Sales product line in the Asia Pacific region to fulfill these market needs.”

UPS SCS (India) Pvt Ltd has signed a Memorandum of Understanding leading to an agency agreement with AFL. The partnership will significantly expand UPS’s presence in India, with a planned rollout to offer more than 130 FSL’s. The expanded network will benefit customers in India who require close-to-customer field stocking facilities and a transportation network to support same-day, Next Flight Out and next-business-day delivery of critical service parts. As a result, the sourcing time for customers is greatly reduced as they gain immediate access to strategically-located central distribution centres and FSL’s across India.

This partnership follows the announcement of UPS’s first strategic alliance with AFL in November 2007 for UPS’s international express delivery service in India. As part of the partnership, the FSL’s and final-mile delivery network in India will use UPS’s global Post Sales IT system. The IT system manages UPS’s customers forward stocking inventory at multiple locations throughout India, with the ability to view inventory in FSL’s worldwide. The Post Sales model by UPS SCS also provides value added services such as inventory planning and returns management services in India and globally.

“India is a priority market for UPS’s contract logistics business in Asia. With this enhancement, UPS is well-positioned to support the after-market needs of local SME’s and MNC’s. In addition, it gives our global customers the opportunity to gain a foothold in the service parts industry within one of the world’s fastest growing economies,” added Foster.

In addition to expanding its Post Sales service in India, UPS is also enhancing its customer service through its new Asia Post Sales Customer Support Centre in Clark, Philippines. Operating 24 hours a day and seven days a week, the centre provides UPS’s Post Sales customers in Asia with prompt support and full visibility into their critical orders with real-time status throughout the entire cycle.
