“FedEx and our team members have a long history of supporting
the communities where we live and work,” said Patrick Fitzgerald,
senior vice president, FedEx Integrated Marketing Communications.
“This new strategy builds on that heritage and takes it to the next
level by focusing on ways we can use our operational strength and
business expertise to address social challenges.”
FedEx Cares will focus on five pillars of strategic investment
to strengthen communities:
- Delivering for Good: Using the
company’s global network to deliver resources where they are needed
most in times of disaster and for special shipments.
- Sustainable Transportation:
Developing solutions that connect the world responsibly and
resourcefully.
- Employment Pathways: Providing
pathways to success for young adults in underserved
populations.
- Road Safety: Applying its
expertise and global reach in road safety to protect pedestrians
and make roads safer.
- Global Entrepreneurship:
Advancing women and minority-owned small businesses and continuing
to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, helping them
access new markets and grow.
This company giving platform is complemented by FedEx team
members who dedicate countless volunteer hours and identify local
community investments based on individual needs in each market. In
2015, more than 17,000 FedEx team members took part in FedEx Cares
Week, a period dedicated to service projects in the U.S. and
regions FedEx serves around the globe.
In celebration of Super Bowl 50, FedEx also announced at a panel
today with the NFL that $50 million of its $200 million commitment
will be in the area of Delivering for Good, which delivers
resources where they are needed most.
