Union Pacific Railroad has 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. A single intermodal train can remove roughly 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.

It was based on a company’s sustainability efforts, such as the use of innovative business practices to reduce its environmental impact. Also considered was a company’s track record of engaging and collaborating effectively with key stakeholders, including communities and business partners.
