Federal Express Services (M) Sdn. Bhd.

FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. and the world’s largest express transportation company, is dedicated to creating a positive impact in the communities where it operates. In a recent initiative, FedEx collaborated with the local non-profit organization, TrEES (Treat Every Environment Special), to establish a 1,000-square-foot community garden in the Klang Valley.

The primary goal of this initiative is to cultivate and supply fresh vegetables to underprivileged urban communities, increasing their access to nutritious food. Over four months, from August to November, dedicated volunteers, who are FedEx employees, actively planted, harvested, sorted vegetables and distributed the yield, while also maintaining the garden for long-term sustainability.

In addition, FedEx employees recognized the importance of contributing to a sustainable planet. In August, they initiated a tree-planting drive, planting 100 trees in Penang and Johor. These efforts preserve Malaysia’s natural heritage and establish a food forest plantation and seed bank, promoting sustainable food growth and environmental conservation. The tree-planting initiative was particularly significant as it coincided with FedEx’s 30th anniversary in Malaysia. 

Furthermore, FedEx’s dedication to empowering the next generation is evident through its flagship initiative, the FedEx Express / JA International Trade Challenge (FedEx / JA ITC). In collaboration with Junior Achievement Malaysia (JA Malaysia), one of the world’s largest non-governmental organizations addressing fundamental social and economic challenges among young people, this program has been successfully running for 15 years in Malaysia (since 2008). It has expanded to several Asia-Pacific markets, reaching over 8,600 students in Malaysia to date.
