Carbon Neutral Shipping

We expect that you are as concerned as we are about the impact that shipping has on the environment.

We do our best to minimize the social and environmental impacts of shipping for materials we procure and for plaques and trophies that we ship.  Our guidelines are:

    • Avoid air freight for incoming and outgoing shipments.

    • Consolidate shipments.

    • Source locally, or from the closest approved supplier.

    • Engage freight transporters who are working to reduce environmental and social impacts.

    • Encourage suppliers and freight transporters to continue to reduce impacts.

    • Share best practices.

Carbon Neutral Plaque & Trophy Shipments

Box with UPS Carbon Neutral Shipping label

Rivanna contracts with UPS to provide carbon-neutral shipping. UPS's carbon neutral option supports projects that offset the emissions of the shipment's transport. UPS has supported projects that include reforestation, landfill gas destruction, wastewater treatment, and methane destruction. UPS is working first to reduce emissions through supply chain optimization and then to offset emissions via recognized standards.

We ship all award orders carbon neutral, regardless of order size or destination.  Please note, however, that if you choose to bill a shipment to your own carrier account, the shipment will not be carbon neutral unless you have your own carbon neutral shipping account or make other arrangements to offset your impacts.
