Global delivery giant UPS has been using Expo 2020 Dubai as a testbed for nascent sustainable technology, Peter Harris, vice president of international sustainability at UPS told Arabian Business.

UPS has set a carbon-neutral goal for 2050, with benchmarks dotted along the 27-year road to 2050, including using 40 percent renewable fuel in its fleet by 2025. By 2035, they have their eyes set on reducing the carbon intensity of a package by 50 percent, and by the same year, sustainable aviation fuel will comprise 30 percent of the airline’s fuel mix.

“We’re using Expo 2020 as an opportunity to lay out our vision of the future of sustainable urban logistics,” Harris said.
