FedEx Recognized for the Continuous Effort in Community Engagement and Responsible Sustainable Initiatives

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 22, 2024 - Federal Express Corporation, one of the world's largest express transportation companies, has been recognized with the prestigious 'Sustainability and CSR Malaysia Awards 2024' in the category of 'Best in Community Engagement & Green Initiatives'. This is the first time FedEx has received this award in this category after winning three consecutive times in the category of 'Best in Community Engagement Support'.

The recognition is for the company's CSR initiatives. FedEx demonstrated its deep commitment to nurturing young talent and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset through the FedEx/Junior Achievement International Trade Challenge (FedEx/JA ITC), benefiting more than 9,200 students across Malaysia over a period of 16 years since its inception in 2008. This award also acknowledges the strong contribution to sustainability at FedEx, which provided fresh vegetables to disadvantaged Malaysian communities by supporting Treat Every Environment Special (TrEES) and its urban community garden in the Klang Valley. These initiatives are part of FedEx Cares, a global community engagement program underpinned by its cultural value of "Committing to Do Good".

Additionally, FedEx volunteers came together and planted 100 tree seedlings in Desaru, Johor Bahru and Balik Pulau, Penang, as part of the company's 30^th anniversary in Malaysia and to express gratitude for being welcomed as a member of the community for the past three decades.

"We are humbled to be receiving this recognition as an acknowledgment of our continuous commitment to nurturing the next generation and our efforts towards environmental stewardship in Malaysia," said Tien Long Woon, managing director, FedEx Malaysia. "This award goes to the FedEx team for their unwavering commitment and for going above and beyond to support the communities where we live and work. We continue to prioritize sustainability as a way to deliver a better future in Malaysia and around the globe."
