2022 ESG Report | FedEx 32 OUR PEOPLE INTRODUCTION OUR PRINCIPLES OUR PLANET DATA APPENDIX Our story FedEx amplifies team member stories to celebrate our differences and promote DEI efforts across the enterprise. Our DEI Depot is an enterprise-wide online platform where team members can access DEI resources, events, and team member stories. FedEx Corporate, FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, and FedEx Services circulate a quarterly DEI Download newsletter, which provides managers and leaders with useful insights and resources to promote DEI conversations within their teams. FedEx Ground also hosts a simulated talk show, Get R.E.A.L. (Revealing opportunities, Elevating equity, Activating engagement, Leading inclusively) which invites guests to courageously share their unique stories. Our communities, customers, and suppliers Our commitment to DEI extends beyond our business—it is an investment we make to serve and support our communities, customers, and suppliers. We are proud to have contributed more than $7 million to non-profit organizations focused on supporting DEI in FY21. We provide more than $1 million annually for leadership development programs in the U.S., mainly through seven scholarship funds. We also sponsor endowed scholarships at four Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs): Tennessee State University, Jackson State University, LeMoyne-Owen College, and Mississippi Valley State University. These funds provide scholarships that range from $1,000 to $25,000 annually to more than 120 college and university students across various STEM, business, and specialist disciplines. This year, we continued our longstanding support of HBCUs by providing $5 million to a group of HBCUs across the country to help prepare students for the workforce beyond formal education. Additionally, in 2022 we launched the FedEx-HBCU Student Ambassador Program, which will prepare students at HBCUs to be future leaders by interacting with FedEx executives and building leadership and career-ready skills. Across our operating companies and in cooperation with key organizations, we recruit candidates from a variety of backgrounds to build a workforce that reflects the world and communities we serve. The FedEx Services College Connections program builds relationships with college campuses in close proximity to main FedEx Services geographies to effectively compete for talent. FedEx Freight implements “The Boardroom Experience” to introduce Black, Hispanic, and other students of color to career possibilities at FedEx through a simulated board meeting. Additionally, FedEx Ground created a six-session High School Pathways program to expose high school students to various FedEx Ground careers and prepare them to transition from high school into the workforce. In June, our operating companies came together for Pride Month by creating a leadership-led video series showcasing our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, designing a FedEx Cares Pride logo, and introducing pronouns into our email signature line. We also pledged $2.5 million to The Asian American Foundation to support Asian American and Pacific Islander communities across the U.S. We are proud to support diverse businesses and know that our suppliers enable us to better serve our customers and compete more effectively in the global marketplace. We formed our Supplier Diversity program in 1992 to formalize our commitment to a supply chain that intentionally develops small and minority-owned businesses. Furthermore, in the U.S., FedEx has hosted a Small Business Grant Contest for the past 10 years. In 2021, we gave away over $250,000 in grants and prizes to contest winners—of which 50% was given to minority-owned businesses and more than 75% was given to woman-owned businesses.
