FedEx partners with Neste for large-scale sustainable aviation fuel supply

Carl Nyberg, Executive Vice President for Renewable Products at Neste, commented: "Neste is delighted to partner with FedEx through our sustainable aviation fuel."

This initiative highlights FedEx's ongoing efforts toward sustainability. Since 2018, it has collaborated on innovative projects like the ecoDemonstrator flight program with Boeing. In fiscal year 2024, through fleet modernization and fuel-saving measures, FedEx achieved a 30% reduction in aviation carbon emission intensity compared to its 2005 baseline.

Sustainable aviation fuels offer lower carbon emissions than traditional fossil-based jet fuels due to their production process using renewable waste materials like used cooking oil and animal fat waste.

FedEx continues its sustainability efforts globally and particularly in China:

- Electrification: 20% of its pickup and delivery fleet in China is electric.

- Infrastructure: Solar power systems at facilities like Beijing Ground Operations Station reduce CO2 emissions.

- Fuel-saving measures: Eco-driving training programs have reduced fuel usage by 15%.

- Digital tools: Tools provide customers historical emission data for cross-border shipments.

- Environmental projects: Initiatives include tree planting and beach cleanups.

- Workplace sustainability: Employees participate in reducing water, electricity, paper use.

- Recycling initiatives: Old uniforms are repurposed into branded bags.
