 Federal Express Corporation, one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, announced its community-driven initiative in collaboration with local non-profit Treat Every Environment Special (TrEES) to establish an urban vegetable garden to provide fresh vegetables to low-income communities in Malaysia.

For the second consecutive year, FedEx and TrEES are launching this initiative to address the lack of access to fresh and healthy food in urban areas. By converting an unused urban space into a thriving vegetable garden, the collaboration will cultivate fresh vegetables that will be delivered to those in need.

The four-month program that was kicked off on August 18 involved 18 FedEx team members who teamed up to plant, maintain and harvest approximately 6 kg of vegetables. These vegetables, alongside donations from FedEx employees, included essential items such as rice, noodles, cooking oil and spices, as well as personal care items like dental care products and sanitary pads, were delivered to beneficiaries.

“Access to nutritious food is a fundamental human right,” said Woon Tien Long, managing director, FedEx Malaysia. “Our collaboration with TrEES is a step towards ensuring that communities in need can enjoy the benefits of fresh produce. This initiative not only supports our commitment to sustainability but also strengthens community bonds.”

“We are excited to work with FedEx on this transformative project, said Leela Panikkar, director, TrEES. “Urban gardens are a powerful way to educate, inspire and feed. This project will not only provide fresh produce but also provide a platform for community education on sustainable practices and nutrition.

The 1,000-square-foot community vegetable garden in the Klang Valley, established last year through the initial collaboration, has seen over 12 types of vegetables grown and harvested. FedEx employees will remain actively involved in the program through a series of gardening activities to ensure a steady supply of fresh vegetables for beneficiaries.

This program is part of the FedEx Cares global community engagement program, underpinned by our culture value of “Committing to Do Good.” Progress in key areas of our FedEx corporate social responsibility initiatives, including pillars such as Community Engagement, Global Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Logistics, can be found in the latest
