– FedEx Cares 50 by 50: delivering hope, change and new possibilities.

For decades, FedEx has supported local, national and global relief agencies, helping them save lives and comfort the afflicted. Our goal is to help make the world a better place through in-kind shipping, volunteering our time and expertise, and charitable giving. With more than 650 airplanes and 180,000 vehicles on the world’s roads, we can get lifesaving materials, medicines, and equipment to disaster sites with great speed and precision.

FedEx has a long history of moving critical items across the globe. Since the start of the pandemic, FedEx Express has transported approximately 110 kilotons of personal protective equipment and other healthcare supplies, including more than 2.5 billion masks around the world in the first year and a half of the pandemic.

As an integral part of the global vaccine supply chain, FedEx is currently delivering COVID-19 vaccines, related ingredients, and supplies to more than 50 countries and territories around the world. FedEx is also involved with the movement of active pharmaceutical ingredients and therapeutics that play an important role in the fight against COVID-19.

FedEx has moved nearly 14,000 COVID-19 humanitarian aid shipments since January 2020 and committed $4 million in cash and in-kind transportation support to help non-profits, including Direct Relief and International Medical Corps, distribute COVID-19 vaccines to underresourced communities around the world. FedEx will continue to deliver lifesaving medicine, personal protective equipment, and other critical supplies until the pandemic is over.

The delivery of the lifesaving supplies is consistent with the company’s FedEx Cares 50 by 50 goal to positively impact 50 million people around the world by the company’s 50th anniversary in 2023. Learn more about the FedEx Cares “Delivering for Good” initiative at fedexcares.com.
