Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, July 22, 2025 – Federal Express Corporation, one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, has been recognized with two awards at the Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards 2025, underscoring its long-standing commitment to community engagement and environmental responsibility.
FedEx Malaysia was named Company of the Year in two categories: Heart of Service and Long-Standing Excellence – in recognition of its sustained efforts to create positive change through meaningful community initiatives and its push towards a more sustainable logistics industry. This marks the fifth time since the company has been honoured at the awards since 2020.
“We’re honoured to receive this recognition, and especially proud to receive the Heart of Service award for the first time,” said Woon Tien Long, Managing Director of FedEx Malaysia. “It’s a meaningful reflection of how our team shows up for the community - whether mentoring youth, building urban farms, or exploring lower-emissions delivery solutions. Our volunteers are the heart of these efforts, and their passion continues to make a real difference on the ground.”
FedEx Malaysia’s recent CSR initiatives include:
- FedEx/Junior Achievement International Trade Challenge (ITC) – equipping over 9,900 Malaysian students since 2008 with global business and entrepreneurial skills. This year, more than 700 students participated in the competition, where they were challenged to develop a Market Entry Strategy Plan for a sustainable fashion solution aimed at reducing product return waste in China.
- Urban farming with Treat Every Environment Special (TrEES) – supporting a vegetable garden in the Klang Valley that yields around 700 meals per month for underserved communities.
- FedEx Cares Purple Tote Campaign – collecting over 107kg of essentials including food, toiletries, and school supplies for the Shelter Home for Children.
These initiatives are part of FedEx Cares, the company’s global community engagement program and one of the ways FedEx lives out its purpose of connecting people and possibilities. Through in-kind shipping, volunteering time and expertise, and charitable giving, FedEx Cares aims to help make the world a better place
On the sustainability front, FedEx piloted Malaysia’s first cross-border electric vehicle (EV) delivery from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore last year. The 406-kilometer EV trip avoided an estimated 100 kilograms of CO₂ emissions[1], offering valuable insights into the future of sustainable logistics in the region. This trial has been recognized by the Malaysia Book of Records as the “First Zero Emission Cross-Border Delivery” and is a representation of the low-emissions technologies being deployed by FedEx worldwide as the company works towards a global goal of carbon-neutral operations by 2040.
