United Airlines Releases 2009-2010 Corporate Responsibility Report – Every Action Counts®: Making Lasting Connections

United Airlines today released its 2009-2010 Corporate Responsibility Report, Every Action Counts®: Making Lasting Connections, highlighting the company’s actions and commitments to promoting environmental solutions, fueling social spirit, a sustainable business agenda and measuring progress.

United is making tangible progress to improve environmental impact by expanding its onboard recycling programs on U.S. routes, promoting alternative fuels and advocating for regulatory change. Customer satisfaction levels are strongly improving and the company continues to support important programs that meet the critical health care, educational and economic needs of the communities United serves.

“In towns and cities across America and around the world, United connects families and friends, colleagues and companies. We help drive tourism, generate business opportunities, and contribute to economic growth and exports. Most importantly, the actions we take matter,” said Glenn Tilton, United Airlines chairman and CEO. “More is expected of us and we rise to that expectation with commitment and a true sense of responsibility,” continued Tilton.

Among the highlights included in the report are:
