FedEx Overview Global Shipping Provider 290,000 Emloyees 220 Countries $39.3 Billion revenue in 2011 On New York Stock Exchange

EarthSmart Official FedEx Sustainability Initiative 4 main tenants: Conservation Alternative Energy Industry Leadership Environmental Policy

“EarthSmart is our commitment to minimize our impact on the environment. It’s designed to encourage innovation that makes our business…more sustainable, both economically and environmentally” -FedEx Press Release, April

Unique Opportunity Rated #122 in top 500 Sustainable Company by Newsweek Green Ratings Relatively Inelastic Commodity Encompasses multiple aspects of sustainability

The first transportation company to necessitate fuel efficiency standards for commercial truck classes of medium and heavy-duty Investments in environmentally friendly ground fleets. Efforts to develop an express rail network Transportation

Optimizing routes Reducing package size to maximize shipment density. Replacing outdated less efficient planes Since 2005 FedEx has increased fleet miles/gal by 14.1%, saving over 53 million gallons of fuel Reduce aircraft emissions by 8.3% Boeing 777 Boeing 757

Energy Efficiency 5 Solar Power facilities (3 hubs) in U.S. Reduce annual CO2 emissions by 3,918 metric tons Whittier, CA kW solar power system has 414,000 kWh/per year capacity, provides 40% of annual energy needs Oakland, CA kW system meets 80% of the hub’s energy needs: = 900 daytime home energy use October 2010 became a solar powered hub for FedEx Express - 16,000 square meters 800,000 kWh per year

Energy Conservation, Reduction, Recycling LEED certified facilities -Water use reduction with low-flow aerators -high efficiency lighting & reduction in lighting with installation of windows and skylights. -FSC-certified paper -PCR - 70% of paper products contain recycled material -ISO environmental management systems - Improved efficiency on digital operations “We’re improving efficiency and business performance - it’s the Holy Grail of Sustainability.” - Mitch Jackson, Director of environmental affairs and sustainability for FedEx.

Combined Environmental Benefits Reduction of 610 Metric Tons of CO2 emissions = passenger cars not driven for one year - 69,240 gallons of gas not burned - 1,419 barrels of oil not burned Households’ electricity use for 1 year - 15,641 tree seedlings grown for 10 years acres of forest preserved from deforestation *(Data from U.S. EPA Green House Gas Equivalencies calculator)

Green Roof -Chicago O’Hare International Airport Approx. 175,000 square feet (the size of 3 football fields!) Reducing air pollution Reducing storm water run-off Extending the avg. roof life from years to years -lowering energy costs by 35% per year -Reducing airport noise
