Tweet

2GO, the country’s largest logistics solutions provider celebrates a decade-long alliance with FedEx Philippines, a partnership that has seamlessly connected Filipino parcels to destinations worldwide.

2GO delivers parcels from the Philippines to more than 220 countries with the power of FedEx.

Mrs. Julie Santos, a 62-year-old mother from Bacolod, needed to send important documents to her daughter in New York. Her daughter, working as a nurse in a foreign country, required these documents for updating her work records. Aware of 2GO's reliable international parcel delivery services via FedEx, Julie visited the SM Business Center in Bacolod to send her package. "I needed a courier I can trust, one that is secure and easy to find, which is why I chose 2GO. I was even able to include a bracelet her sister made as a lucky charm. Sure enough, within 4 days, the package arrived safely at my daughter’s apartment," shares Mrs. Santos.

Through 2GO's extensive retail network, boasting nearly 3,000 outlets including SM Business Centers, Alfamart, Waltermart, Fax Parcel and Print, and Savemore, FedEx services have been made readily accessible across the archipelago, facilitating the swift and secure delivery of vital packages to loved ones abroad.

With FedEx's global reach spanning 220 countries, 2GO efficiently transports nearly 10,000 packages worldwide per month, facilitating the seamless exchange of goods and documents ensuring deliveries from the Philippines to destinations in countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, and Japan.

Frederic DyBuncio, President and CEO of 2GO Group, Inc., expressed gratitude for the enduring partnership, stating, "2GO Group values our collaboration with FedEx, which empowers Filipinos to expand their horizons. By bridging the gap for local parcels, for personal or business, beyond borders, we're not just delivering packages; we're delivering opportunities."

“Our goal is to deliver outstanding experiences for our customers by making it easier and more convenient for them,” said Maribeth Espinosa, Managing Director of FedEx Philippines. “With the anticipated growth of e-commerce in Asia Pacific, expanding access points for e-tailers, SMEs, and solopreneurs is crucial in making their businesses more competitive. Our collaboration with 2GO exemplifies how FedEx connects people and possibilities and is one of the milestones we celebrate this year as we mark our 40th anniversary in the Philippines.”

FedEx Collaborates With Local Social Enterprise To Upcycle Old Uniforms Into Sustainable Gifts

Tweet

FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world's largest express transportation companies, collaborated with Mori Notes to breathe new life into old uniforms as part of its sustainability initiatives. A total of 157 uniforms were transformed by Mori Notes into brand new FedEx organizers, which will be used as gifts to customers.

“As part of our commitment to positively impact our local communities, we are constantly incorporating sustainable solutions into more facets of our operations, including waste management,” said Maribeth Espinosa, Managing Director, FedEx Express Philippines. “Upcycling our old uniforms into FedEx-branded items is just one of the ways we can reduce waste and save precious resources.”

In March 2021, FedEx Express announced its goal to achieve carbon-neutral global operations by 2040.  The company has been focused on its sustainability efforts following a “Reduce, Replace, Revolutionize” approach. This includes reducing emissions and waste, replacing older technologies and vehicles with more efficient ones, and revolutionizing our operations with new technologies. With combined efforts from across the globe, FedEx was able to reduce its emissions intensity on a revenue basis by 45% from FY2009 through FY2021, a period when average daily package volumes grew by 180%[1].

Last year, FedEx discontinued the production of all seasonal paper products and printed calendars used in customer gifting in the AMEA region and instead introduced a new AMEA sustainability customer engagement program. Through this, we are planting 48,000 trees to honor our FedEx customers as they join us in our focus on environment protection.
