Sustainability Reports

Union Pacific is dedicated to transparent sustainability reporting. We publish our Building America Report biennially. While the full report is released in even-numbered years, we provide an annual update of our sustainability metrics. Our archived reports below offer a historical view of our journey toward a more sustainable future.

Providing clear and accessible sustainability is central to our sustainability approach. Metrics are compiled and, where necessary, restated from previous reports to reflect updates in reporting standards.
