Black Enterprise Names UPS Among "40 Best Companies for Diversity"

Atlanta, June 25, 2009

Black Enterprise magazine has named UPS (NYSE: UPS) to its list of "40 Best Companies for Diversity" for the fourth consecutive year.

According to the magazine's July issue, UPS demonstrated strength and outperformed its peers in the key categories of senior management and supplier diversity.

"We know that diversity is an essential element to our strength as an employer, a business and a corporate citizen," said Allen Hill, senior vice president of Human Resources. "We are particularly proud of this recognition of our outstanding management team and suppliers."

UPS was one of more than 1,000 publicly traded companies evaluated by Black Enterprise on business activities related to the participation of African Americans as well as members of other ethnic minority groups.

This honor continues UPS's accolades for diversity. Earlier this year, the company was named one of "America's Top Corporations for Women's Business Enterprises" by Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) for the ninth consecutive year, and was among those listed on DiversityBusiness.com's "America's Top 50 Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities." In past years, UPS managers have been featured in Black Enterprise as among the 100 Most Powerful Executives in America.
