#CulturePH - Celebrating 40 Years of FedEx in the Philippines: A Journey of Innovation and Community Impact
This year, they're celebrating a monumental milestone—FedEx Philippines is turning 40! Since 1984, FedEx has been a game-changer in the logistics industry, connecting people and possibilities across the globe. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane and see how FedEx has been delivering growth, opportunities, and positive impact for four amazing decades.
Delivering Growth for Businesses
From its humble beginnings, FedEx has evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of its customers. Remember 2013? That’s when FedEx launched its direct service operations, taking control of logistics processes nationwide. Fast forward to 2017, and we saw the opening of service hubs in Bonifacio Global City and Clark, Pampanga, solidifying FedEx’s role as a key player in the Asia-Pacific region.
The real game-changer came in 2021 with the FedEx Clark Gateway Facility. This state-of-the-art hub can sort up to 9,000 parcels per hour and is a powerhouse for cold-chain logistics and e-commerce. With a dedicated freight-handling area of 630 square meters, it’s designed to meet the growing demands of bulk shipments and large items. Talk about efficiency!
Empowering Employees
At the heart of FedEx’s success is its people. The company’s PSP philosophy—People-Service-Profit—emphasizes that by prioritizing employees, outstanding service and profitability naturally follow. FedEx has been recognized for its commitment to creating an exceptional workplace, bagging seven awards at the HR Excellence Awards 2024 Philippines. Kudos to the team!
Making a Positive Impact
FedEx isn’t just about business; it’s about community too. Through FedEx Cares, the company has made generous donations and supported various initiatives. One standout project is the Empowering Women Scholarship Program (EWSP) in collaboration with Zonta Club of Makati and Environs. This program provided scholarships to 60 women in STEM at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, along with professional skills development webinars and career fairs. Empowering women in traditionally male-dominated fields? Yes, please!
FedEx is also dedicated to creating an inclusive workplace for people with disabilities, ensuring everyone has equal opportunities to thrive. Their efforts have been recognized with multiple awards, including a gold award for Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion at the HR Excellence Awards 2022 Philippines.
Looking Ahead
As the company celebrates this 40-year milestone, FedEx is not slowing down. The company is expanding its Philippine Gateway facility in Clark to more than twice its current size. With a focus on innovation, community involvement, and excellence, FedEx is committed to building the network for what’s next—for customers, employees, and the communities they serve.
Here’s to 40 years of FedEx Philippines delivering possibilities and making a positive impact. Cheers to many more years of growth, innovation, and community spirit!
