Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), a global leader in express transportation, has demonstrated its commitment to community support by organizing an initiative to aid underprivileged communities in Korea. Over 800 FedEx team members volunteered more than 1,000 hours to collect and donate over 3,600 kilograms of essential supplies. This effort has benefited over 1,650 individuals, including children, the elderly, and underserved groups, through partnerships with more than 20 non-profit organizations.

In collaboration with The Beautiful Store Foundation in Korea, FedEx team members donated over 430 kilograms of items such as clothes, toys, blankets, electronic devices, books, and other necessities to assist families in need. These efforts were part of the annual FedEx Cares Purple Tote Campaign that ran from October to December 31, 2024. The campaign empowers FedEx employees across 11 markets including Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and New Zealand.

FedEx volunteers formed teams working with chosen charities to gather essential items like packaged food and hygiene kits. Donations were delivered in purple tote bags representing care and compassion.

Kawal Preet, President of FedEx Asia Pacific said: “At FedEx we know that building real connections and making a difference in our communities is at the heart of what we do... It makes me incredibly proud to see our team members step up and support those in need – this reflects the values of ‘teamwork’ and taking care of each other’ that shape who we are.”

Wonbin Park managing director of FedEx Korea added: “We are truly grateful for our team members’ dedication for the local communities who truly embody our spirit of 'Commit to Do Good'... We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to The Beautiful Store for their collaboration."

In addition to this campaign in 2024 FedEx donated 40 million KRW to K League Assist for improving safety at football stadiums in South Korea. A safety campaign was launched at Incheon Football Stadium aiming at preventing accidents caused by large crowds.

Globally in FY24 FedEx contributed $55 million focusing on programs supporting Delivering for Good Sustainable Logistics and Global Entrepreneurship according to their economic impact report.
