Federal
Express Corporation, one of the world’s largest express transportation
companies, continued its collaboration with Mori Notes for the fifth year to upcycle
retired courier uniforms into innovative gifts for customers. This initiative reflects
FedEx’s commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement.
Reducing
waste and igniting creativity, 300 retired shirts were transformed into 200 versatile
gadget pouches and 200 neck pillows.
This sustainable project promotes a circular economy, reduces textile
waste, and provides customers with meaningful, sustainable gifts that reflect
FedEx’s dedication to environmental stewardship.
The
collaboration with Mori Notes, a Philippines-based NGO renowned
for its innovative upcycling projects, aligns with the FedEx mission to
connect the world responsibly and resourcefully. At FedEx, we are committed to
advancing sustainability across our operations and creating opportunities within
the communities we serve,” said Maribeth Espinosa, managing director of FedEx
Philippines.
FedEx’s
upcycling initiatives in the Philippines, which began in 2020, have transformed
300 old pants and 50 retired shirts into 600 handcrafted journals and 100 handwoven
pouches. Additionally, FedEx donates wooden pallets and plastic waste to organizations that repurpose them, reducing pollution and burden on landfills.
FedEx is also committed to developing innovative digital tools, such as FedEx Ship
Manager (FSM), an online shipping tool, and various online
import and export declaration tools, to reduce paper and energy
consumption, as well as improve operational efficiency. The company also
launched a cloud-based carbon emissions reporting tool, FedEx®
Sustainability Insights, giving customers access to historical emissions
information on their shipments within the FedEx network. FedEx customers can
use the data to make purposeful decisions on their future shipping strategy to align
with their own sustainability goals.
