UPS and Chevron were among this year’s winners of Corporate Citizenship Awards from the US Chamber of Commerce’s Business Civic Leadership Centre.
In the tenth annual awards, companies were rewarded for work in areas such as national and international community service, corporate stewardship and partnerships.
The UPS logistics company won the community service category for its ‘Road Code’ programme, a safe-driving course for teenagers, which has provided a three-year $1.5million (£920,000, €1m) grant to local organizations to implement the project across America.
The partnership award went to Chevron in acknowledgement of its work with the Discovery Channel. The oil giant has worked with the broadcaster to establish learning centres in Angola, Nigeria, South Africa, Venezuela and Brazil.
Other awards went to pharmaceuticals company Abbott and Wegmans Food Markets, for their work on HIV treatment in Tanzania and hunger relief respectively.
Stephen Jordan, executive director at the Business Civic Leadership Centre, said: ‘Given the circumstances, the calibre and depth of commitment of this year's award finalists and winners was truly impressive.’
