Ethical and Environmental Policy

Since 2004, uShip has made transport and trucking more affordable and efficient. We’ve matched hundreds of thousands of customers’ shipments with the extra space in transporters’ trucks, reducing the number of empty miles on the road and saving people millions of dollars in lowered delivery costs.

But that’s only half of the equation. uShip also has a long-standing partnership with TerraPass, the award-winning carbon offset provider, to purchase credits to further neutralize the negative impact of carbon dioxide emissions created from transport jobs booked on uShip. Whether you’re a customer or a transporter, you can easily participate by purchasing TerraPass credits to make a difference.

uShip and TerraPass have partnered to sponsor clean energy and carbon reduction projects that result in verified, measureable reduction in carbon emissions. uShip annually purchases off-set credits based on company activities and resources used: uShip has balanced emissions from these sources:
Site Offset; Energy use in buildings, including electricity,
natural gas, propane and heating oil.
Server Offset; Energy use in computer data centres.
Travel Offset; Employee travel, including flights and train trips.
Commute Offset;
Employee commutes, whether by car or by public transport.
