FedEx pioneers a greener path with recognition for sustainable practices
Innovative green logistics solutions put FedEx at the forefront of sustainable transportation and logistics in Malaysia.
At the 2024 ESGBusiness Awards, FedEx emerged as a leader in eco-friendly logistics, receiving the Sustainable Transportation Award - Malaysia and the Net Zero Award - Logistics. These accolades recognise FedEx's efforts to integrate sustainable technologies and reduce environmental impact through innovative logistics solutions.
Driving sustainability
FedEx received the Sustainable Transportation Award - Malaysia for its leadership in green logistics, with a special focus on its first electric vehicle (EV) cross-border trial delivery between Malaysia and Singapore.
The 406-kilometre journey marked a historic moment as the first zero-emission cross-border delivery in Malaysia, setting a national record. FedEx reported a reduction of approximately 100 kilogrammes of tailpipe CO2 emissions during this trial compared to traditional diesel-powered vehicles. This initiative aligns with Malaysia’s national goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, further strengthening FedEx's role in driving the nation’s sustainability agenda.
"The commissioning of this trial plays an important role in evolving our future fleet operations in Malaysia, as we are monitoring the performance of the EV fleet in terms of efficiency, sustainability and technological innovation. This step is integral in leveraging advanced technology into our operations, shaping a more efficient and sustainable supply chain," FedEx said.
A commitment to net zero
In addition to the Sustainable Transportation Award - Malaysia, FedEx was also honoured with the Net Zero Award - Logistics for its commitment to carbon-neutral operations.
The company’s forward-thinking initiatives, such as the EV cross-border trial, are driving progress in reducing the environmental footprint of its logistics network.
"This step is integral in leveraging advanced technology into our operations, shaping a more efficient and sustainable supply chain,” FedEx said.
As part of its long-term strategy, FedEx continues to invest in data-driven solutions and advanced technologies to enhance sustainability in its operations. These efforts demonstrate that logistics can not only thrive but also lead the way in reducing emissions and driving positive environmental change.
FedEx’s dual recognition at the ESGBusiness Awards 2024 highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to transform the logistics industry through sustainable innovation. As Malaysia and the global logistics sector shift towards lower emissions, FedEx's sustainable initiatives reflect a promising future where environmental responsibility and business success go hand in hand.
