FedEx (FDX) Sets Goal of Carbon-Neutral Operations by 2040
FedEx Corporation (FDX - Free Report) aims to make its operations carbon-neutral globally by 2040. To this end, the company intends to make an initial investment of more than $2 billion for vehicle electrification, sustainable energy and carbon sequestration.
