Parcel Service (UPS)
Human trafficking often operates within legitimate transportation networks, making awareness and training among transportation professionals a critical line of defense.
United Parcel Service (UPS) has demonstrated meaningful leadership in addressing this challenge through its longstanding partnership with Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) and its commitment to training employees to recognize and report signs of trafficking.
To honor UPS's leadership in training employees to identify and prevent human trafficking, and to encourage further engagement in the public markets.
UPS partnered with Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) to train over 200,000 drivers and 3,000 pilots to identify and prevent trafficking in transportation networks.

Letter of Thanks to UPS’s Leadership in Human Trafficking Prevention
As shareholders in UPS and leading innovators in fighting human trafficking, we are writing to express our deep appreciation and admiration for UPS’s exemplary leadership in the transportation industry. Your commitment to partner with Truckers Against Trafficking to train over 205,000 UPS drivers, and with the DHS Blue Campaign to train more than 3,000 UPS pilots to identify and prevent human trafficking, marks a meaningful step in safeguarding the vulnerable at scale.
We applaud UPS’s dedication to ensuring that the transportation sector reflects the highest standards of human rights. By leaning into your position as an industry leader, UPS has helped create a front-line defense against trafficking, utilizing your vast network to spot suspicious activities that might otherwise go unnoticed on our roads and in our skies.
We are especially inspired by UPS’s willingness to lead by example rather than wait for others to act. Being at the forefront of this initiative sends a clear signal that logistics leadership and ethical responsibility go hand-in-hand. Your efforts to disrupt human trafficking crimes not only protect individuals but also strengthen the integrity of the entire transportation industry.
We support UPS’s continued investment in these critical training initiatives. We believe these efforts strengthen the long-term value of the institution, reduce significant reputational risks, and reflect the values of your global customer base and the broader community. As such, we enthusiastically support these efforts and encourage UPS to continue advancing meaningful, scalable solutions to combat exploitation.
Sincerely,
The Eagle Freedom Alliance, managers and advisors to over $100 Billion
