FedEx partners with Hands On Tokyo for Arakawa riverbank cleanup

Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has partnered with Hands On Tokyo, a local non-profit organization, to address environmental concerns related to litter accumulation on waterfronts and ocean plastic pollution in Tokyo. Approximately 50 kilograms of trash were collected by FedEx volunteers along the Arakawa riverbank. This effort aims to prevent waste from entering waterways and contributes to a cleaner and healthier ecosystem.

FedEx emphasizes its commitment to environmental protection through initiatives like this cleanup effort. The company promotes environmental stewardship as a core value and encourages employees to participate in community service activities.

“At FedEx, we believe that the long-term prosperity of our business depends on the health of the environment,” said Kei Alan Kubota, managing director of FedEx Japan. “In addition to embracing sustainability initiatives in our operations, such as the use of reusable packaging, electric vehicles ( EVs) to reduce emissions, and alternative biodiesel for existing vehicles, we continually seek out ways to care for the environment and support local communities. This clean-up activity demonstrates our employees’ passion and commitment to fostering sustainable communities.”
