The USPS joins Georgia-Pacific Corporation as the first two organizations to be formally accepted in the VPP Corporate pilot program, which streamlines the application and onsite evaluation processes for corporations that have made a commitment to outstanding workplace safety and health management.
USPS visits 142 million homes and businesses every day and is the only service provider delivering to every address in the nation. USPS delivers more than 46 percent of the world’s mail volume, and serves seven million customers each day.
