PHILIPPINES, May 15, 2012 – FedEx Express recently received multiple accolades for creating an excellent workplace for its employees and improving lives in the communities.
FedEx took the Gold Award for Best Workplace Practices and Silver Award for Best Community Program at the 4th Global CSR Awards, one of the most prestigious recognition award programs for Corporate Social responsibility in Asia Pacific. FedEx was also awarded by the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in the Philippines for photographs documenting the company’s CSR initiatives.

The Global CSR Awards ceremony 2012, recently held in Boracay Island, Aklan, Philippines, honored companies demonstrating leadership and commitment to ethical values and respect for individuals, communities and the environment. For the fourth consecutive year, FedEx was recognized for its unwavering focus on maintaining a safe and rewarding environment where employees have opportunities to grow and succeed.

The company’s culture of volunteerism is a hallmark of what makes FedEx a great place to work. FedEx encourages employees to give their own time and energy to a myriad of causes, including the annual global FedEx Cares Week, FedEx/ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital program, Safe Kids Walk This Way child pedestrian safety program, Junior Achievement International Trade Challenge, and other local initiatives. Of these, the FedEx/ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital program was named a Silver Award winner under the Best Community Program category.

At the 4th AmCham CSR Photo Exhibit, a FedEx photograph featuring the FedEx/ORBIS Flying Hospital visit in Iloilo was named Best Photo under the Health category. An additional photograph from FedEx Cares Week, in which FedEx volunteers cared for pediatric patients of the Kythe Foundation, was also on display.

The 4th AmCham CSR Photo Exhibit, with the theme “Business for Better Life!,” showcased photographs that best exemplify the active role of American businesses and volunteer employees in supporting community development in the Philippines. Categories included education, environment protection, healthcare, livelihood, and disaster risk management.
