FedEx partners with Society of Wilderness for Touchian River cleanup

Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has collaborated with the Society of Wilderness (SoW) to address water resource issues in Taiwan. As part of this effort, FedEx organized a riverside cleanup along the Touchian River in Hsinchu, involving team members and their families. The cleanup resulted in the removal of nearly 181 kilograms of waste.

The Touchian River is crucial for the Greater Hsinchu area, supplying over 90% of local water needs and supporting various sectors, including agriculture and high-tech industries at the Hsinchu Science Park. Taiwan's high-tech sector relies heavily on electronic components, which were its largest export in 2023.

Michael Chu, managing director of FedEx Taiwan, stated: “FedEx is committed to fostering sustainable development in the communities we serve and supporting local environmental conservation efforts.” He emphasized the significance of the Touchian River for the region and highlighted FedEx's dedication to corporate social responsibility.
