FedEx has demonstrated its commitment to community support through the efforts of over 800 team members across the Asia Pacific region. These volunteers dedicated more than 1,000 hours to collect and donate over 3,600 kilograms of essential supplies to those in need. The initiative benefited more than 1,650 individuals, including children, the elderly, and underserved groups, in collaboration with over 20 non-profit organizations.

The donations were part of the annual FedEx Cares Purple Tote Campaign that ran from October to December 31, 2024. This campaign empowers FedEx employees to make an impact by supporting NGOs in their local communities. Volunteers from 11 markets participated, including Australia, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and New Zealand.

FedEx teams worked together to ensure their contributions made a meaningful difference. They supported children with leukemia and provided educational supplies and assistance to families in need. Essential items such as packaged food, books, toys, winter clothing and hygiene kits were gathered and delivered in purple tote bags symbolizing care and compassion.
