11th Annual CECP Board of Boards Convenes and Recognizes UPS’s David Abney
10 Mars 2016 - 1:46AM
Fifty CEOs, including David Abney, Chairman and CEO of UPS
(NYSE:UPS), today convened at CECP’s 11th annual Board of Boards:
Competing for the Long Run, February 29, 2016 in New York City. A
Forbes-named top three “power player” event for CEOs, the Board of
Boards is a closed-door, CEO-to-CEO forum on the case for thinking
long-term about business and societal strategies.
At this year’s event, Abney was awarded the CECP’s first-ever
Strong Start CEO Force for Good Award, which honors CEOs new to
their positions who have in their short tenures made outsized
impacts within their companies and community.
In 2015, UPS employees logged 2.35 million volunteer hours,
putting the company well on its way to achieving its goal of
recording 20 million hours by the end of 2020, and the UPS
Foundation funded the programs of more than 4,000 community-based
nonprofits and NGOs worldwide. Additionally, UPS already reached
more than half of its goal for its alternative fuel and advanced
technology fleet to drive a billion miles by the end of 2017.
When completed, this accomplishment will enable UPS to have avoided
as much as 12 percent of its annual conventional ground fuel
use.
“There’s no other forum of CEOs that focuses on bringing balance
to long- and short-term business strategies for the benefit of
business and society,” stated Daryl Brewster, CEO, CECP. “These
CEOs bring purpose to their businesses by aligning with and
investing in society. It builds trust. It engages employees.
It improves the business reputation. It opens up new opportunities
for the long run. And we are seeing increased evidence that it is
leading to superior performance.”
Executives at the event share insights and best practices to
help advance the impact of corporate community investment, while
tapping strategies that are a competitive advantage.
While the Boards of Boards was a closed-door event, a high-level
summary including live polling results, images and highlight videos
will be available on the CECP website.
CECP, a coalition of CEOs who believe that societal improvement
is an essential measure of business performance, was founded by
actor and philanthropist Paul Newman and recognized by Forbes as a
leading convener of “power players” in business.
