Fair Pay & Worker Respect

No specific, concrete evidence was found in the provided articles to assess FedEx Corporation against the defined Key Performance Indicators for Fair Pay & Worker Respect within the specified timeframes or with the required quantitative data. Information regarding past incidents, lawsuits, or practices (e.g., 2012 misclassification of drivers

and planting 388,000 trees.

FedEx's business model as a transportation and logistics company means it does not have products requiring cruelty-free certification, animal-derived ingredients, animal agriculture operations, or animal-related suppliers for welfare audits. The company's policy prohibiting the transportation of live animals to laboratories for testing, along with its collaborations with the Chinese government and international zoological organizations on panda conservation, aligns with publicly endorsing specific animal welfare reforms.
