“FedEx is committed to protecting and respecting the environment,” said Eddy Chan , senior vice president, FedEx China . “We are pleased to work with Greennovate to increase environmental awareness in Hubei Province . Through the GECKO program, FedEx employees in Wuhan will be trained about the environment and then as volunteers will share their knowledge with the local community.”
