OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 6, 2025--

Union Pacific Railroad today recognized 16 customers and suppliers with its 2025 Sustainability Partner Awards, celebrating their commitment to advancing environmental stewardship and sustainable business practices. Now in its third year, the award program highlights organizations that are driving measurable progress toward ambitious sustainability goals through innovation, collaboration and leadership.

“Union Pacific is proud to stand side by side with our customers and suppliers, working together to find environmentally responsible ways to move freight,” said Kenny Rocker, executive vice president – Marketing and Sales. “By aligning our efforts, we’re building a stronger supply chain and driving better long-term outcomes for communities across America.”

Rail continues to be the most sustainable form of moving freight over land. A single intermodal train can remove approximately 500 trucks from the nation’s congested highways and uses only one gallon of fuel to move a ton of freight 500 miles.

The award was open to Union Pacific’s customers and suppliers and was based on a company’s sustainability efforts, such as the use of innovative business practices to reduce their environmental impact. Also considered was a company’s track record of engaging and collaborating effectively with key stakeholders, including communities and business partners.
