2022 ESG Report | FedEx 22 OUR PLANET DATA APPENDIX INTRODUCTION OUR PRINCIPLES OUR PEOPLE In addition, we aim to minimize our operational waste footprint. FedEx recognizes that the long-term health of our business is directly connected to the health of the planet and local communities. Each operating company has robust programs and policies in place to help mitigate adverse impacts on the local environment from facility operations and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. To further drive our environmental sustainability progress, our CSO manages our enterprise-wide Environmental Management System and reviews performance on an annual basis. We strive to enhance our environmental performance and FedEx Express facilities in 43 countries have achieved the ISO 14001 environmental management system standard as of FY21. In addition, we aim to minimize our operational waste footprint. In 2020, the FedEx Sourcing team began implementing a new enterprise-wide waste and recycling managed-service strategy for our U.S. operations to standardize our processes and reduce the amount of waste we send to landfills. To date, we have transitioned over 1,000 U.S. facilities to this new managed service. Overall, 67% of reported solid waste in our global facilities was sent to recyclers in FY21. European sustainability strategy in focus FedEx Express Europe is implementing an organized, comprehensive sustainability strategy to drive innovative solutions to address sustainability challenges in the European market. Our European Union Sustainability Committee, formed in 2021, oversees environmental sustainability for the region and is sponsored by the European regional Chief Operating Officer. Seven Impact Teams—Sustainable Fleet Solutions, Zero Emissions City Deliveries, Green Facilities & Certifications, Subcontractor Collaboration Programs, Circular Solutions & Waste Management, Customer Solutions, and Multimodal Transportation—are responsible for implementing sustainability projects across the network and supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A central sustainability team supports, coordinates, and facilitates these environmental initiatives. In FY21, FedEx Express Europe developed GreenLab Copenhagen, a flagship sustainability concept that aims to reduce carbon emissions and accelerate progress towards our goal of carbon neutral operations by combining multiple sustainability initiatives. We are looking to expand the most effective initiatives to other locations across Europe. The idea for GreenLab Copenhagen originated from our inaugural Sustainability Challenge, which invited team members in Nordic countries to share their ideas to help us reduce the environmental impact of our business activities. FedEx Express Europe also joined the Capital Equipment Coalition in 2021, showcasing its commitment to increase circularity by working to reduce the use of raw materials and extending the lifespan of capital equipment. The coalition is exploring solutions and ways of defining circularity standards in connection with capital equipment. Our approach | Facilities Environmental Policy KEY LINKS
