According to two authors Marc Benioff and Carlye Adler in their book "The Business of Changing the World" published in 2007, chapter 2, page 17-33, "As it has grown , UPS has remained steadfast in actively maintaining the values with which it was created" described by the authors.
Benioff and Carlye stated that UPS was founded in 1907 by Jim Casey who was a 19 years-old boy with his $100 borrowed from his friends, as time went by, today UPS was a $ 42 billions legacy as well as the best delivering service as a result of its founder’s talent in business in spite of the rise and fall of the world. According to the meeting between two writers and Mike Eskew, CEO of UPS since 2002, Eskew said that Casey strongly believed UPS ’s success owed communities and employees a lots so he founded UPS foundation which was responsible for supporting poor families, workplace literacy, hunger relief and national volunteerism, reported by the writers .Especially, according to the two writers, Eskew noted UPS appreciated volunteers who might not be used effectively, consequently, there was a programme designed
dedicatedly to nations and areas help them manage volunteers. Moreover, Eskew presented all top UPS managers were required to go to rural areas for 1 month each year to help those who were in hunger, drugs…because it would help them understand their society. Finally, Benioff and Adler stated that Eskew described UPS’s plan to make "communities and companies can be "in lockstep" " ( Benioff and Adler, 2007, page 32) with many programs to keep everyone closer and to solve unemployment problem.
The two writers concluded that the spirit of Jim Casey for work, for charity would never die in UPS as well as his sentence "Remember that the story is to be about us –not about me" ( Benioff and Adler, 2007, page 17)
