This report is an analysis of the voluntary environmental and social reporting of companies on the 2010 Forbes Transportation and Logistics sector lists. Data were collected from corporate websites during the initial analysis period (dates shown below). A draft sector report was then made available online and letters were sent to all companies inviting them to review the analysis, to identify anything missed by our analysts, and to post additional material on their websites if they wished to improve their scores.

The Pacific Sustainability Index (PSI) Overview
the PSI Scoring System The Pacific Sustainability Index (PSI) uses two systematic questionnaires to analyze the quality of the sustainability reporting—a base questionnaire for reports across sectors and a sector-specific questionnaire for companies within the same sector. The selection of questions is based on, and periodically adjusted to, the most frequently-mentioned topics in over 1,900 corporate sustainability reports analyzed from 2002 through 2009 at the Roberts Environmental Center. The Roberts Environmental Center The Roberts Environmental Center is an environmental research institute at Claremont McKenna College (CMC). Its mission is to provide students of all the Claremont Colleges with a comprehensive and realistic understanding of today’s environmental issues and the ways in which they are being and can be resolved--beyond the confines of traditional academic disciplines and curriculum--and to identify, publicize, and encourage policies and practices that achieve economic and social goals in the most environmentally benign and protective manner. The Center is partially funded by an endowment from George R. Roberts (Founding Partner of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and CMC alumnus), other grants and gifts, and is staffed by faculty and students from the Claremont Colleges. Methodology Student analysts download relevant English language web pages from the main corporate website for analysis. Our scoring excludes data independently stored outside the main corporate website or available only in hard copy. When a corporate subsidiary has its own sustainability reporting, partial credit is given to the parent company when a direct link is provided in the main corporate website. We archive these web pages as PDF files for future reference. Our analysts use a keyword search function to search reporting of specific topics, they fill out a PSI scoring sheet (http://www.roberts.cmc.edu/PSI/scoringsheet.asp), and track the coverage and depths of different sustainability issues mentioned in all online materials. Scores and Ranks When they are finished scoring, the analysts enter their scoring results into the PSI database. The PSI database calculates scores and publishes them on the Center’s website. This sector report provides an in-depth analysis on sustainability reporting of the largest companies of the sector, as listed in the latest 2010 Forbes lists. Prior to publishing our sector report, we notify companies analyzed and encourage them to provide feedback and additional new online materials, which often improve their scores. What do the scores mean? We normalize all the scores to the potential maximum score. Scores of subsets of the overall score are also normalized to their potential maxima. The letter grades (A+, A, A-, B+, etc.), however, are normalized to the highest scoring company analyzed in the report. Grades of individual companies in the report might be different from grades posted online on the Roberts Environmental Center's website, since the normalization of scores of an individual company online is not limited to the companies analyzed in the sector report, but also includes other companies of the same sector irrespective of the year of analysis. Companies with scores in the highest 4% get an A+ and any in the bottom 4% get an F. We assign these by dividing the maximum PSI score obtained in the sector into 12 equal parts then rounding fractional score up or down. This means that A+ and F are under-represented compared to the other grades. The same technique applies to the separate categories of environmental and social scores. Thus, we grade on the curve. We assume that the highest score obtained in the sector and any scores near it represent the state-of-the-art for that sector and deserve an A+.

PSI Scoring in a Nutshell
Our analysis of sustainability reporting has a set of basic topics applied to all organizations as well as a series of sector-specific topics. The topics are divided into environmental and social categories—the latter including human rights—and into three types of information: 1) intent, 2) reporting, and 3) performance. 1. Intent The “Intent” topics are each worth two points; one point for a discussion of intentions, vision, or plans, and one point for evidence of specific actions taken to implement them. 2. Reporting The “Reporting” topics are each worth five points and are either quantitative (for which we expect numerical data) or qualitative (for which we don’t). For quantitative topics, one point is available for a discussion, one point for putting the information into perspective (i.e. awards, industry standards, competitor performance, etc., or if the raw data are normalized by dividing by revenue, number of employees, number of widgets produced, etc.), one point for the presence of an explicit numerical goal, one point for numerical data from a single year, and one point for similar data from a previous year. For qualitative topics, there are three criteria summed up to five points: 1.67 points for discussion, 1.67 points for initiatives or actions, and 1.67 points for perspective. 3. Performance For each “Reporting” topic, two performance points are available. For quantitative topics, one point is given for improvement from the previous reporting period, and one point for better performance than the sector average (based on the data used for this sector report normalized by revenue). For qualitative topics, we give one point for any indication of improvement from previous reporting periods, and one point for perspective. The 11 “human rights” topics are scored differently, with five “reporting” points; 2.5 points for formally adopting a policy or standard and 2.5 points for a description of monitoring measures. In addition, there are two “performance” points; one point for evidence of actions to reinforce policy and one point for a quantitative indication of compliance.

Environmental Performance Scores
Environmental performance scores are based on whether or not the firm has improved its performance on each of the topics discussed under the heading of environmental reporting, and on whether the quality of the performance is better than that of the firm’s peers. Scoring for each topic is one point if performance is better than in previous reports, two points if better than industry peers, three points if both.

Overall
This graph illustrates the average PSI in three categories--overall, environmental, and social--breakdown by countries. Since our sample size follows the world's largest companies from the Fortune list, several countries have only one company score to represent the whole country's sustainability reporting in the sector.

Visual cluster analysis multivariate data of the sort produced by the PSI are difficult to summarize. Here we have created radar diagrams of the performance of each company analyzed in the sector by its environmental and social intent, reporting, and performance sorted by company ranking. Maximum scores will match the outer sides of the hexagon, which total up to 100 percent.

Maersk has a strong stated commitment to sustainable environmental and social practices as a means to long-term economic development and growth. The company is one of 55 worldwide participants in the UN Global Compact LEAD program, focused on achieving the highest levels of corporate sustainability on both local and global levels. Due to the company’s nature as a conglomerate involved with shipping, production, oil, and retail, it has no overarching group environmental policy; each subsidiary is encouraged to create its own measures for reducing environmental impact in line with the company’s environmental vision. Maersk Line, its shipping division, is developing new Triple-E class ships which will be 90% recyclable and some of the most CO2 efficient large container ships in the world. To prevent transmission of invasive species through ship ballast water, the company has developed a ballast water treatment system that will be implemented across all ships within the Maersk fleet. Although these subsidiary environmental achievements are commendable, the company should strive to set more concrete environmental policy and goals for the entire group. Maersk’s social performance is similarly decentralized. It does not provide group-wide records of employee turnover, lost workday rate or community investment. However, it does have an overarching action plan for human rights policy based upon the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The company has identified gaps within its performance and has outlined action plans for closing these gaps. Further, it provides a concise but robust code of conduct that protects employees and ensures compliance with appropriate laws and regulations related to social performance. To aid with disaster relief, Maersk fields Logistics Emergency Teams as a part of the UN’s World Food Program. These teams employ logistics expertise and assets to assist in the immediate aftermath of a disaster; an LET was deployed to Japan in the wake of the 2011 tsunami.

While AMR seems to be making an effort to be more environmentally sustainable, it lacks sufficient data, and results are mixed. The company’s 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report and 2012 website include environmental sections, but the last published Environmental Responsibility Report, which was more extensive, was from 2007. AMR’s greenhouse gas emissions have increased during the period from 2005 to 2010. Water usage shows only a small decrease. For many other categories considered in the PSI, such as solid waste recycled and solid waste disposed, there are only data for the current year, which makes it difficult to track performance over time. This being said, AMR was listed in Newsweek in 2011 as the greenest U.S. airline. It is important to note that the aviation industry is intrinsically linked to high CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions, and AMR acknowledges this. It has implemented a program called Fuel Smart which aims to both reduce fuel usage and improve fuel efficiency. Additionally, the company has managed to achieve reductions in noise pollution through modification of existing aircraft, and new purchases. Where AMR really shines is in its social policies, especially those considering diversity. AMR has received numerous awards from a variety of different organizations, including the Human Rights Campaign, Hispanic Business magazine, and Corporate Counsel Women of Color. The corporation has a strong framework for promoting and maintaining diversity which consists of a Diversity Committee, a Diversity Strategies organization, and different Employee Resource Groups. Minority and female participation in management positions has increased over the past 15 years. AMR also fosters a culture of volunteerism and community improvement; the company itself and its employees are engaged in a commendable number of volunteer initiatives.

Air France KLM’s 2010-11 Corporate Social responsibility report is impressive. For an organization that quite literally spans the globe, it pays remarkable attention to local concerns in its various operational areas. Relevant data for the status of the company’s social and environmental policy initiatives are clearly annexed. The groups’ web pages, reports, and ethical charters are accessible, up-to-date, and for the most part, easy to navigate. The group operates under relevant ISO standards as much as possible. However, the group’s stellar reporting is undermined by its neglecting to outline the specifics of its monitoring structure for the wide array of its CSR projects. One area it definitely needs to improve on, in including a specifically designated contact person for its CSR operations.

All Nippon Air (ANA) has a stated commitment to being a leading eco-friendly airline and utilizing airlines’ efficiency advantages over other modes of transport to reduce society’s environmental impact. It has worked in conjunction with Boeing to develop the Boeing 787, a medium-body aircraft that reduces fuel consumption by 20% over the industry-standard 767; ANA will introduce the 787 to its fleet in spring 2012. To offset its CO2 emissions, it sponsors forestation projects around 50 airports in Japan. However, ANA provides very little quantitative data, and the sparse data it provides is limited to the year of the report. The company should strive to provide more comprehensive quantitative indicators for its environmental performance. Socially, ANA is committed to safety for its employees and customers and satisfaction from its stakeholders. It has an extensive system for stakeholder communication in place, and solicits feedback regularly. The company also has a sound system in place for emergency response; it was tested by the Japan earthquake in March 2011 and functioned as expected. Quantitative indicators are similarly lacking for social performance. Although it is clear that ANA supports social initiatives, there is no indication of the scope of its contributions. Furthermore, despite its emphasis on safety and employee satisfaction, ANA does not provide the results of its employee satisfaction survey, its employee turnover rate, or the lost workday rate. The company also provides no code of conduct or similar statement of policies in areas such as corruption, compensation, and discrimination. ANA should be more transparent about the scope of its commitment to its social practices and its internal policies.

British Airways does a good job of touching on most subjects concerning social and environmental sustainability. However, their quantitative data is severely lacking. Aside from some figures on waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and accident rate, they hardly have any consistently measured figures at all (or, if they do, they do not report them). From a plethora of single statistics throughout their website, it seems that British Airways either does keep track of these figures and simply did not release them, or at the very least has the capacity to do so. The figures may have been kept up to date for several years, but the annual report on sustainability that was started in 1990 was disbanded in 2005. On the qualitative side, however, British Airways is quite thorough. They delve deeply into several topics, covering a wide variety of topics related to community investment, for example. If they were to take just a few more measurements or add a few paragraphs to their CSR, they could easily increase the breadth of their sustainability reporting greatly, and could then phase-in the sort of depth they have become accustomed to over time.

Central Japan Railway publishes a variety of information through its environmental issues paper, series N700 paper, and 2010 Environmental Report. Though Central Japan Railway makes a strong effort to report its sustainability efforts, it does not provide the most important data for measuring environmental and social sustainability. The transportation company’s environmental report focuses on describing its advances in designing new and more carbon-efficient trains. Also included is an analysis of the carbon emissions of the railway industry as compared to the airline industry. While all the information that Central Japan Railway included is useful, it fails to provide current data on the most important environmental sustainability data, such as greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, or waste disposal. Central Japan Railway does, however, provide detailed environmental accounting figures. The company should be praised for its efforts in improving the energy and carbon efficiency of its trains; however, it should report up-to-date figures on greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, and waste disposal in order to improve. Central Japan Railway’s social sustainability report similarly covers a wide variety of topics but fails to include measures such as a breakdown of its workforce by age, gender, and ethnicity. Also missing from the report is any measure of lost workday or accident rates. The company does, however, report opportunities for employee training and its initiatives for community development. These projects include the training centers at Aichi and Shizuoka Prefecture and the Nagoya Central Hospital. All these endeavors are encouraged and praised, though to improve, we recommend that Central Japan Railway report data on the metrics mentioned above. Central Japan Railway’s sustainability reports are detailed and describe many of the company’s efforts to be responsible. However, the company does not report some of the most central measures of sustainability. We recommend that these figures be reported for a better score.

Delta Airlines provides a detailed and comprehensive Corporate Responsibility Report that clearly demonstrates its commitment to both social and environmental policy. Thorough quantitative data is reported regarding recycled waste, hazardous waste produced, and greenhouse gases released, all of which have seen improvement over the past several years. The data provided regarding greenhouse gas emissions is especially notable, as the company presents detailed information illustrating the breakdown of emissions throughout its various operations (aircraft, facilities, etc). The consistent decrease in Delta’s greenhouse gas emissions over recent years is laudable, and is clearly presented in graphical form. An element that is notably missing from Delta’s CSR, however, is any quantitative reporting of energy use. Although there is a brief mention of energy saved due to the installation of eco-friendly roofing material, the report lacks detailed data regarding the company’s overall energy use. Delta Airlines excels in its social policy as well, particularly in regards to occupational health & safety protection and employee benefits. There has been a consistent decrease in both the reportable employee accident/incident rate and lost workday case rate over recent years, and Delta’s commitment to “providing employees with a safe and healthy work environment” is detailed in the “Employee Safety” section of the company’s CSR. In addition, Delta’s Force for Global Good upholds the values of community development, specifically “advancing global diversity, improving global wellness, improving the environment, and promoting arts and culture.” The company’s support of such causes has been demonstrated by a dramatic increase in social community investment from 2009 to 2010. This achievement, however, is slightly marred by the fact that from 2007 to 2009, the amount of money Delta spent on community outreach decreased by about $2.5 million each year (although this may be attributed to Delta’s bankruptcy during the economic recession). Despite this and various other areas that could be improved, overall Delta Airlines presents a very impressive Corporate Responsibility Report.

Deutsche Post DHL 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report and web pages thoroughly cover many environmental and social responsibility topics. The transportation company includes its position on many environmental matters, as well as what it is doing in response in its GoGreen Strategy. DHL has incorporated electric vehicles into its fleet, holds a World Environment Day for awareness, and was second in the transportation industry in Newsweek’s 2010 Green Ratings. DHL has a strong social mission which focuses on relief efforts worldwide. Many tons of goods have been donated, as well as the time of many employee volunteers. The company also has many health initiatives for employees, from road safety programs to organized fitness groups. DHL does lack in its quantitative data reporting, which it is aware of and mentions in the report, discussing its difficulty across the company’s 220 countries. However, DHL does do a commendable job in reporting greenhouse gas emissions, breaking them up by scope one, two and three to differentiate their sources. Aside from missing quantitative data, DHL has a very complete corporate responsibility report.

East Japan Railway’s sustainability report provides a detailed account of the corporation’s environmental reporting. The corporate sustainability report discusses the numerous efforts East Japan Railway has made to combat global climate change and preserve biodiversity. In the past year, EJR has reduced their CO2 emissions from 2.54 million tons to 2.15 million tons, and plans to reduce their annual emissions by an additional 0.37 million tons by 2018. The company has also undertaken numerous projects to improve the quality of the overall health of the environment. For example, EJR promoted the planting of greenery on their station and office building rooftops. EJR also began the Hometown Forestation Programs to plant trees native to each region and to revitalize forests. Despite the company’s descriptive environmental reporting, the sustainability report lacks a substantial amount of information regarding its social policy. EJR does not report any official policy discussing sexual harassment, child labor, reasonable working hours, and bribery and anti-corruption practices. EJR would improve its overall score if it provided this information. However, the company does emphasize its safety protocols for its employees and its customers. Recently, EJR has imposed new regulations that address earthquake safety protocol.

In its 2010 Global Citizenship Report, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and 2012 web pages, Fedex demonstrates a commitment to environmental sustainability, the community, and the welfare of its workers. Although the company does not report much quantitative data to support its claims, Fedex still demonstrates its corporate responsibility through its initiatives and actions, as well as improvement in its business practices. More information concerning water usage and environmental expenses and investments should be included. For social responsibility, Fedex should elucidate its commitment to ethical issues related to employee welfare and rights. Fedex’s most notable environmental initiative is its promotion and production of renewable energy. Many facilities have installed solar power generation, an accomplishment that has saved 4,000 metric tons of carbon emissions per year. Furthermore, the company purchases renewable energy credits to offset its power consumption. Fedex’s commitment to social responsibility is quantitatively evident through its high retention rate of employees; however, there is little quantitative data for accident rates or lost workday cases Overall, Fedex demonstrates its firm commitment to corporate sustainability. However, the company should more thoroughly report its policies and initiatives for some areas, as well as provide more quantitative data to better demonstrate its efforts.

The Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Annual Report, web site and Fact Book contain limited information concerning “K” Line’s CSR activities.“K” Line appears to be devoted to becoming an environmentally and socially responsible company. The greatest evidence for this is an officially established management crew in charge of CSR activities and even management personal to contact with CSR concerns. They have also secured ISO 14001 environmental management certification.•Nevertheless, “K” Line has a huge amount to improve on. Most detrimental to the company’s score is the lack of quantitative data concerning anything from greenhouse gas emissions to energy consumption to waste production. As a shipping company, “K” Line should keep very close tabs on its greenhouse gas production in particular. In fact the only data provided by the company was water use in its office buildings. Socially, “K” Line needs substantial development. To highlight one concerning example, there is no mention of women in management included in “K” Line’s report. In fact, “K” Line is headed by an overwhelmingly male management crew. Other concerning topics are missing from the company’s CSR activities as well. Bribery, political contributions, fair employee compensation, many more socially important issues are not discussed by “K” Line whatsoever. In a more positive light, there are initiatives that “K” Line has taken to play a role in advancing society. For example, in the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated central Chile in 2010, “K” Line used its considerable logistical capacity to ensure victims had access to preserved food and clothing. Deliveries free of charge have been the company’s contribution to relief efforts in the wake of many such natural disasters.

While Kuehne and Nagel dedicate a majority of its report towards the discussion of environmental sustainability, the report falls short of depicting an accurate portrait of the company’s environmental impact. Although the company attempts to communicate its impact with its suppliers and customers, Kuehne and Nagel’s Code of Conduct, 2012 Sustainability Report, and 2012 web pages need to add more information. The company omits discussion of any environmental or social impediments. In terms of the environment, the report overlooks issues such as climate change, the maintenance of biodiversity, and ecosystem and habitat conservation. Not one social challenges is mentioned; the company only states its respect for cultural diversity. The Code of Conduct emphasizes the company’s views on anti-corruption and bribery through the elaboration of policies, but little more is discussed. The company never mentions a policy on sexual harassment, free association, or the elimination of forced labo and child labor. The company provides explanations for carbon calculators, claiming the calculators provide accurate readings, yet does not validate this statement with quantitative evidence; Kuehne & Nagel only reports current quantitative data for renewable energy used and notes the greenhouse gases emissions improvement. Similarly, the company discusses the desire for the reduction of carbon emissions and energy usages. To improve the report, the company must disclose more information: quantitative data to accurately demonstrate its environmental impact, policies for workers’ rights, greater discussion of environmental and social challenges, and Kuehne and Nagel’s plans to combat these challenges.

Deutsche Lufthansa’s corporate sustainability report demonstrates a clear commitment to sustainability, but needs improvement in certain areas. One of the most lacking areas of the report is quantitative data reporting. While the report does include a great deal of information on the fuel consumption of the company’s aircraft, it contains little to no information on energy use, waste produced, or water use. Also, the company does not include much quantitative information on its responsibility to its employees or the communities it operates in. For example, the company gives no information on recordable accident rate or fines that have been imposed on the company. The company does not do a very good job of expanding its scope of reporting. One of the most noticeable examples of this problem is the dis-proportional amount of space the company devotes to fuel consumption and the development of bio-fuels. While this section contains elements that make a sustainability report successful- company goals, their implementation, quantitative data- no other section in the report comes close to being as informative as this aspect of the company’s operation. While fuel consumption may be a very pertinent issue for a major airline, a company this large must have many other elements of its operation that affect the environment. The company, however, does a very good job of organizing the data that is does provide. Many of the graphs and tables throughout the report make data understandable. An example is the table that highlights the company’s demographic structure in the diversity section of the report. Furthermore, the tables at the end of each section sum up most of the data that appeared in the section are very convenient and helpful reference points. The glossary at the end of the report is also very helpful in understanding the technical terms that appear throughout the report.

The Mitsui O.S.K Lines’ (MOL’s) 2012 Environmental and Social Report comprehensive insight into the company’s environmental and social activities. The voices from the front lines, really make the report come to life. The pictures illustrating the environmental protection strategies, such as one to prevent oil spills by having the double-hull tankers, speaks volumes on the company’s seriousness in protecting the environment. This report is packed with a lot of highly commendable sustainability initiatives, superior in the sector. Mr. CEO Koichi Muto’s vision on sustainability in the foreword is amplified by the many stories and topics covered in the report. This report is well-designed and well-written and because of the many attractive graphics and illustrations, could be used even by young children to study sustainability management in transportation business, but still sustains the significant depth of knowledge that would be an interest of a typical scientist in academia. Well done!

Nippon Express demonstrates its dedication to its social and environmental responsibilities through its 2012 Nippon Express Group Corporate Strategy. The company’s new strategy focuses not only on its growth as a logistics company, but also on the steps it must take to improve its environmental and social sustainability practices. After revision of its Environmental Charter in 2010, Nippon Express has introduced many new initiatives such as: the introduction of environmentally-friendly vehicles such as CNG trucks, LPG trucks, bi-fuel trucks and hybrids to reduce its emissions. It also promotes green purchasing and has a green purchasing rate of over 60%, however, the website lacks quantitative data in relation to its consumption and emissions of various forms of energy. Nippon Express is dedicated to its employees and focuses heavily on their development. In order to foster human resource development, it established NITTSU Group University to further enhance the skills and capabilities of its workers. Additionally, Nippon Express developed a three-year Education and Training Policy that highlights the various steps Nippon Express needs to take in order to achieve its goals of human resource development. However, the company fails to provide information on the rest of its social policies like its anti-corruption practices and the fair compensation of its employees.

NYK receives a high score for environmental and social responsibility, a testament to the company’s value of “monohakobi that enriches lives and protects the environment.” NYK demonstrates environmental innovation by including solar power generators and air-lubrication systems on their ships and module vessels. NYK’s Super Eco Ship 2030 – an advanced ship that will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 69 percent using solar, wind, and other renewable energies – looks like a particularly promising and forward-thinking technology. Moreover, the extensive training programs for both office workers and seafarers are good indicators of the company’s work ethic. Lastly, NYK is commended on the range of worldwide CSR activities, such as addressing energy consumption, global warming, pollution, earthquakes, floods, orphanages, and cancer. While NYK’s Corporate Social Responsibility report holds lots of helpful graphs, charts, and diagrams, they are highly concentrated or are small in the margins and make the report appear confusing and overwhelming. It would be helpful to reduce the amount of information on one page so as not to miss important information. NYK provides a wealth of environmental performance data, but the breakdown between NYK, three NYK-owned container terminals in Japan, and NYK fleet is unclear at times. Data on overall energy consumption, water consumption, waste production, and carbon dioxide emissions would be useful. Lastly, NYK does not provide a formal code of conduct online. NYK should clearly lay out the company’s adoption, monitoring, and reinforcement of policies, in addition to the provided United Nations Global Compact, which lacks a few important policies. However, in general, NYK appears as a safe and environmentally-friendly company through its monohakobi.

Singapore Airlines’ Annual Report and 2010/2011 Environmental Report provide a clear demonstration of the company’s commitment to good environmental performance. A formal environmental policy statement is presented, along with a statement of potential risks and challenges facing the company and its plans to overcome these obstacles. Particularly notable is SIA’s commitment to reducing the effects of climate change by implementing initiatives to improve the fuel efficiency of its aircraft. Although there was a slight increase in carbon dioxide emissions from 2009-2010 to 2010-2011, there has been a “general decline [emission per unit of load-tonne-km flown] over the last 10 years in line with fuel efficiency improvement” (pg. 228). The company’s Harapan Rainforest Preservation Project is commendable as well. ••Although SIA provides a detailed account of its environmental initiatives, it is lacking in its reporting of social performance. The most concerning demonstration of this issue is the company’s failure to provide any sort of Code of Conduct. As a result, fundamental issues such as employee rights and anti-corruption practices are not sufficiently addressed, although employee and customer safety is briefly mentioned. Furthermore, there is no formal social policy statement or description of a social organizational structure. Singapore Airlines does stress the importance of community development and employee volunteerism, however reporting of the internal social performance of the company is in need of vast improvement.

Its stated commitment to environmental sustainability is framed in terms of economic sustainability and demand from stakeholders, and is not supported by an official environmental policy. The company’s Plant Me initiative seeks to leverage its position in the transportation sector to create more fuel-efficient vehicles and optimize delivery for reduced emissions where it is financially viable. An extension of this is the City Logistics project, which seeks to provide zero-emissions last-mile deliveries in city centers. This is accomplished through package bundling and electric vehicles. Unfortunately, TNT provides little quantitative information on its environmental practices, and the sparse information it does provide is often only for the current year. It should strive to provide more comprehensive environmental data with historical points for reference. Quantitative data is similarly lacking for social indicators. Where it is present, there is sometimes conflicting data in different sections of the report (notably employee turnover and lost workday rate). However, TNT does have a strong commitment to integrity and a robust code of conduct that provides extensive protections to employees and enforces proper conduct. Safety is an area of focus for the company; it has implemented its own road safety management system to ensure an appropriate level of safe practices from all drivers that exceed legal requirements. Further, TNT established the North Star Alliance in conjunction with the World Food Program to provide for the health and safety needs of highly mobile populations such as truck drivers. The transmission of HIV/AIDS has become prevalent in the transportation sector, and the Alliance hopes to curtail it and other infection diseases’ spread and provide adequate treatment to at-risk mobile populations.

The Tokyu Corporation does not publish its CSR or many of its webpages in English. Although it appears that it has an extensive Japanese CSR and webpages on sustainability, there is little information available for English speakers. Most of the available information is financial. The company has a stated commitment to protecting the environment and vows to follow all relevant laws and regulations. The only evidence they provide for this commitment is mentioning a shift to newer, more energy-efficient vehicles and implementing natural ventilation and radiant cooling systems at one of their stations. There is a similar lack of English information for social practices. Tokyu states its commitment to sustainable social practice and compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, but provides little evidence that it does so. It does provide an English code of conduct, but its specifications are often vague. The company is developing a comprehensive emergency response program in light of the Japan Earthquake. Tokyu should seek to provide more complete environmental and social information in English so that it can be properly assessed.

Union Pacific publishes its 2011 Sustainability and Citizenship Report and the report conveys clear goals and descriptions on activities to achieve its goals. Union Pacific strives to achieve is to reduce its locomotive fuel consumption by 1 percent. This gradual, one-step-at-a-time approach is highly commendable, considering its significant cumulative impact to better the environment. There is a strong commitment on safety, "No injury is acceptable: Zero employee injuries, zero trespasser incidents, zero vehicle grade crossing accidents, and zero train derailments." Just reading this, give a tremendous level of comfort to an external stakeholder such as ourselves. The company has been active in the community, involved in its employees’ health and safety programs, and strategic in its environmental plans. Union Pacific is absolutely on the right track of sustainability.

United Airlines is committed to environmentally sustainable and socially responsible business practices, and the company provides extensive information regarding its operations and initiatives through its 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 Corporate Responsibility Report, CDP response, Global Citizenship Report and Ethics and Compliance Principles Report. United prides itself as an industry leader in environmental innovation and has invested in several pioneering programs including synthetic air-fuel development and extensive on-board and ground recycling. United provides extensive quantitative information regarding its resource consumption, waste production, community investment and business performance. The company does hold back some information regarding waste disposal and environmental and health citations. Its environmental approach involves investment in alternative fuels and fuel efficiency, minimization and safe recycling of waste, improvement of operational efficiency (especially with regard to flight-paths), and dialogue with partners and suppliers to improve environmental sustainability. Employee volunteerism is promoted and United supports several organizations that conduct environmental and social work. United has adopted an environmental management system based on ISO 14001 and is part of the Carbon Disclosure Project. United’s ‘Eco-skies’ program invests in alternative fuel development and the company works with the airline industry to maximize operational efficiency (its green corridor flight CO2 emissions by 20,000 pounds). United’s social policies involve community partnership, youth and education development and health and humanitarian aid. The company prides itself as a being great place to work and has an inclusive policy of both supplier and workforce diversity. United conducts internal and third party audits through its CSR reports it clearly shares information regarding its performance. Although there are areas where United can improve its social and environmental reporting, overall the company displays remarkable corporate responsibility reporting.

UPS prides itself on being a leader in sustainability, particularly in the emissions-heavy transportation and logistics sector. Fortune magazine recognized UPS as the #1 most admired company in social responsibility in 2010. The company sets forth clear environmental and social visions, and has a host of initiatives to see these visions through. The company incorporates technological solutions in every facet of its business to optimize efficiency and reduce environmental impact. It has outfitted 40% of its US ground fleet with telematics systems that report driving information; that data is then used to advise driver behavior to reduce driving time and consequently reduce emissions. UPS has also implemented carbon neutral shipping options for all customers: they can opt to have emissions created by their shipments offset by UPS for a small fee. The weakest point of UPS’ CSR is its lack of historical quantitative data – although it provides quantitative indicators in many areas, it often only lists the most current data and no previous years for comparison. It should strive to include more comprehensive historic data in addition to its current period. UPS also performs well socially. Important for any transportation or Logistics Company is the safety of its drivers; of UPS’ training expenditures in 2010, nearly 50% was spent on safety programs. The injury rate for employees and accident frequency for drivers both dropped. UPS publishes and enforces a robust code of conduct to protect the human rights of its workers and those with whom it does business.

US Airways’ 2012 web pages and 2011 corporate responsibility report presents a limited view of its sustainability practices with some notable gaps in its reporting. The airline company has a clear environmental and social visionary statement and reports initiatives such as Flights for 50, which is an employee volunteering program. US Airways’ reporting has significant room for improvement. Also lacking is any form of data that measures employee satisfaction, turnover rate, or accident rate. For a better score, we recommend that US Airways publish updated figures for its quantitative figures and report more social sustainability metrics.

West Japan Railways receives a low score because it fails to demonstrate responsible social and environmental practices. The web site pages and the Annual Report are well-organized and easy to navigate, but they rely heavily on financial statements, and scarcely include sustainability information. West Japan Railways should be commended on its installment of garbage reciprocals and recycling rates of 95%. However, while West Japan Railways provided some data on carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption, the graphs and values were difficult to interpret. The company states that it aims to “invigorate local communities through tourism in order to enrich the lives of the people,” but it does not contribute to social community investment activities such as community development, community education, and employee volunteerism. West Japan Railways claims to “contribute to the preservation of the natural environment and the realization of a sustainable society,” yet it lacks an environmental management system and environmental education, and disregards habitat conservation and biodiversity. Finally, it is concerning that West Japan Railways mentions no human rights reporting so the treatment of their employees is unclear.

Yamato Holdings’ corporate social responsibility activities involve issues of safety, environment, society and economy. The company believes in running sustainable operations that reflect sound ideals and social responsibility. However, the company’s CSR report however, is only 2 pages long and provides almost no quantitative data. Yamato Holdings stresses the importance of safety and runs traffic safety workshops for students. To improve environmental efficiency, Yamato has introduced several low-emission and hybrid vehicles in their transportation business. Its social programs include employment for disabled people and earthquake relief. Yet, the company’s CSR initiatives are very narrow. No information is provided regarding any large environmental investment or community activities. No operational data is provided and the company is not involved in any environmental programs or initiatives. The company would greatly benefit from promoting employee volunteerism, conducting a large-scale project to improve environmental efficiency or being involved in social programs.
