The ESG Report

How FedEx Approached ESG with Aaron Nicodemus


 
Tom Fox welcomes back Aaron Nicodemus to the ESG Report. Aaron is a writer at Compliance Week, a magazine that provides the latest information in the ethics, governance, risk, and compliance space. He primarily writes about regulatory policy and compliance trends. In this week’s show, he and Tom discuss Aaron’s new article series about FedEx’s journey on ESG. 
 

 
The Inspiration Behind The Articles on FedEx and Their ESG Journey
Justin Ross, CCO at FedEx, was dubbed the CCO of The Year at Compliance Week 2021. After he won the award, he and Aaron discussed the new efforts FedEx was venturing into. One of the initiatives that came up was FedEx’s environmental plan for the future. After extensive research, Aaron realized that “the extent of [FedEx’s] ESG initiatives went much further than I had realized”. This intrigued him and he decided to write the series based on his findings. 
 
How FedEx Plans to Manage ESG
Tom asks Aaron how a delivery company, that spends exorbitant amounts on fuel and vehicle maintenance, could reframe that into an ESG issue. Aaron replies that those were the first questions FedEx asked themselves when it conceptualized its environmental initiative. They decided to focus on reducing their emissions; that worked well alongside their fuel reduction initiative for a time. They determined that they could be more efficient with their jets, by ensuring that the engine does not idle more than necessary. However, as Aaron points out, emissions and fuel reduction are not a linear process, “Their biggest problem with their emissions is that because they’re growing so fast, they’re making more deliveries, they’re making more flights through the air, and they just have trouble keeping their emissions down because they’re expanding so fast.”  
 
Ebb and Flow of FedEx’s Environmental Initiative 
Aaron says, “One of the biggest touch points for FedEx with its ESG initiative is transparency.” He explains that they want stakeholders to understand their goals and the journey to get there so that when they have setbacks, they’re all accounted for. For example, FedEx has ordered over 20,000 electric cars, to reduce exhaust emissions into the environment but only received five of them. He adds that they had another goal to increase an alternative source of jet fuel but they were having an issue with supply, and they ended up having to postpone the idea several times. However, since they are in constant communication with their investors, employees, and customers, they can comfortably discuss their failures, how close they got to achieving them, and why they did or did not achieve them.

It’s the 150th episode of the Great Women in Compliance podcast.  This is a special episode because Mary and Lisa decided to do a joint episode in the middle of a season.  And in honor of the 150th episode, they have brought back the GWICies.  This year, they call out some things that resonated with them – the best new podcast, the best innovation this year, the best swag at a conference, the program that can be a phoenix and rise up, while still providing lessons to learn, and the best “outside compliance,” success story, among others.
The other part of the episode is a recap of the recent Compliance Week conference.  Lisa and Mary give their feedback about some highlights and some lessons learned in the panels.  They both felt very fortunate to be a part of this live conference, and the opportunity to connect in person.
Lastly, Lisa and Mary want to thank the Compliance Podcast Network and Corporate Compliance Insights for their ongoing support and sponsorship – they couldn’t do it without them.  They are also grateful for the entire #GWIC community – who have made this such a wonderful experience for them.
