LOGISTICS & DISTRIBUTION
Rethinking delivery for a sustainable future For FedEx, staying ahead of the curve means more than delivering parcels on time – it’ s about redefining what responsible logistics looks like in a rapidly changing world.
“ It’ s no longer just about speed and reliability – there’ s a growing demand for more responsible, low-impact delivery,” Kawal observes.“ At FedEx, we see that not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to lead.”
That leadership is evident in the company’ s bold commitment to achieving carbon-neutral operations by 2040. In the APAC region, tangible progress is already under way.
“ We now have nearly 1,000 electric vehicles operating across the region, with 20 % of our ground fleet in China already electrified and we recently added 31 electric vehicles in Singapore,” Kawal notes. By 2030, FedEx aims for every new parcel pickup and delivery vehicle purchase to be electric.
Aviation, one of the toughest sectors to decarbonise, is also getting a sustainability overhaul. FedEx is modernising its aircraft and championing the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels. A US $ 100m pledge to Yale University helped launch the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture, accelerating breakthroughs in carbon sequestration to offset aviation emissions.
For SMEs, sustainability is also becoming a business imperative.
“ We’ ve introduced tools that allow our customers to estimate CO₂e emissions at both the package and account levels – giving them data and insights to make more sustainable choices,” Kawal notes.
Together, these efforts reflect a commitment that goes beyond meeting expectations. FedEx is actively shaping the future of global commerce – one that is not only faster and more efficient, but also more sustainable for customers, communities and the planet.
