OMAHA, Neb. — Union Pacific has released its 2022 Building America Report, outlining the company’s efforts to address sustainability, safety, corporate accountability, and community engagement by outlining its actions in areas ranging from workforce training to cybersecurity to contributions to nonprofit organizations.
“This report highlights our progress to achieve the goals outlined in our Building a Sustainable Future 2030 strategy and follows through on our commitment to transparent communication,” CEO Lance Fritz said in a press release. “Placing our stakeholders at the center of our decision making helps us find the best solutions, enables our customers to get their jobs done, and supports and connects the communities where our employees live and work.”
The report looks at such efforts as UP’s We Are One diversity, equity and inclusion program; its environmental program highlighted by a goal of net zero emissions by 2050; and new technologies to improve operational efficiency.
“The Building America Report tracks our progress across our most important sustainability categories, and we are proud of our achievements,” said Beth Whited, executive vice president – sustainability and strategy, and chief human resources officer. “At Union Pacific, sustainability is integrated into our company processes, goals and culture, and the actions we are taking now will help build a more sustainable world for our workforce, customers and communities.”

It’s nice to see that the UP is siding with trans genders allowing them to do anything they want at any age in Nebraska. I know this is not train related but shows a mind set at the UP which hasn’t been doing well in important railroad categories.
Just as info Vincent UP dividend checks aren’t that big of a deal $1.30 a share (quarterly) or just 2.6% annually.
He’ll be gone in June and so will UP’s infatuation with Operating Ratio as the current God of the Finances to bow down to. The wheels of change are in motion, lets not let anything get in the way… including stockholders who could give a damn about the railroad as long as they get their dividend checks…
Great that Lance Fritz is back as a CEO and putting shareholders as a priority.
Their interest is most important. Viva Soroban!
