UPS Canada’s Safest Drivers Join Nearly 1,500 More Globally into the Circle of Honor
29 März 2022 - 7:58PM
UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced the
induction of 1,495 of its drivers into the Circle of Honor,
including 38 from Canada, an elite group of UPS drivers who have
not had an avoidable accident for 25 years or more. Made up of
drivers across four continents, this new class has a total of
37,375 years of safe driving.
Recent Canadian Inductee, Adrian Henry shares the pride he feels
when asked about this elite club. “My customers have gotten curious
about what the Circle of Honor patch means. They are surprised that
I was able to achieve this and when they find out there’s more at
UPS, they always congratulate me.”
“In this era of distracted driving, it’s an incredible
accomplishment when our drivers are inducted into the UPS Circle of
Honor,” said Carol B. Tomé, UPS CEO. “All UPS drivers understand
the important role rigorous training and safety protocols play in
keeping them, and our communities, safe. Collectively, our drivers
log more than 5.6 billion kilometres each year on roadways around
the world, and our Circle of Honor drivers are among the safest on
the road. I’m so very proud of what our Circle of Honor drivers
represent.”
As the global pandemic underscored the essential nature of their
services, UPSers demonstrated a commitment to health and safety
that reached beyond the workplace.
“Our drivers were a crucial part of the global team that helped
deliver nearly 1.5 billion vaccines in 110 countries at 99+%
on-time performance,” said Kate Gutmann, President, International,
Healthcare and Supply Chain Solutions. “I send my heartfelt
appreciation to all of them and commend them for their safety first
commitment.”
With the approach of World Health and Safety at Work Day on
April 28, UPS encourages all drivers to be more intentional about
safe driving habits. According to the World Health Organization,
distracted drivers are approximately four times more likely to be
involved in a car crash than those who are not distracted.
