Frequently asked questions
Sustainability basics
As a global citizen, FedEx has set a goal to achieve carbon neutral operations by 2040 to make operations more sustainable by investing in three key areas: vehicle electrification, sustainable energy, and carbon sequestration.
GLEC stands for Global Logistics Emissions Council. It’s a partnership of more than 150 companies, organizations, and experts. They have developed a universal framework for calculating and reporting logistics emissions.
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol establishes global standardized frameworks to measure emissions. It provides guidance for businesses and governments to help them reduce climate-warming emissions.
Using FedEx Sustainability Insights
No. Shipments made on TNT accounts are not included in FedEx® Sustainability Insights emissions reports. Emissions for TNT shipments can be requested through your FedEx Sales representative.
FedEx® Sustainability Insights is a cloud-based tool that estimates emissions at a package and account level using, among other inputs, FedEx scan data across our network and facilities.
Business-to-Consumer customers will be able to login with their fedex.com Username and Password to view their CO2e emissions reporting on the external user interface.
The customer must be the ‘payor’ of the account associated with their fedex.com user ID.
You can go to the FedEx® Sustainability Insights external user interface and log in with your fedex.com username and password -or- Type in keyword sustainability on the search bar and select FedEx and Carbon Neutral Operations | FedEx to view information on FedEx® Sustainability Insights. Any account number tied to your fedex.com user ID as a ‘payor’ will be populated once you login.
Our goal is to empower you to have access to your CO2e emissions information at an account or tracking ID level through FedEx® Sustainability Insights. Some exclusions apply.
You can then use this post-shipment (historical) reporting to drive shipping decisions to help reduce your CO2e footprint.
The FedEx® Sustainability Insights tool on fedex.com supports up to 20 accounts. If you need to view more than 20 accounts/500 tracking ID, please contact your FedEx Sales representative to receive a more robust report.
Once you are logged into the FedEx® Sustainability Insights tool using your fedex.com User ID, you will only be able to see account numbers that are tied to your login and if you are the ‘payor’ associated for the account.
Unfortunately, the FedEx Sustainability Insights team cannot troubleshoot fedex.com User ID account issues or add associated payors to different accounts.
For additional help, please reach out to your FedEx Sales representative to have reports pulled to receive emissions data.
Methodology
The FSI methodology conforms to the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework. The GLEC Framework was designed to calculate greenhouse gas emissions across a variety of transportation modes. It calculates well-to-wheel CO2e (includes carbon (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O)) emissions for each individual package, which includes both transport and non-transport emissions.
Transport emissions include aircraft, truck, rail, and ocean and are calculated for each transport segment between the origin and destination. FedEx data systems identify each stop a package makes and the mode of transport by which the package moves between each stop.
Non-transport emissions are associated with energy use and mobile equipment (e.g., cargo tugs, forklifts, etc.) at facilities and are allocated to packages based on package weight.
- Well-To-Wheel (WTW) refers to life cycle emissions associated with the extraction, production, transport, distribution, and use of fuel in an asset (i.e., aircraft, truck, train)
- Well-To-Tank (WTT) emissions are a subset of WTW and refers to emissions associated with the extraction, production, transport, distribution of the fuel into the tank of the asset. (Included in Scope 3)
- Tank-To-Wheel (TTW) emissions are a subset of WTW and refers to emissions associated with the fuel energy use from assets tank to combustion. Examples include tailpipe emissions from FedEx owned equipment and contracted transportation.
Definitions for Scope I, II and III emissions are provided in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol international standard and differentiated by how much control an organization has over the source of emissions. Use the Scope explanations below for the FSI report.
- Scope I emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. They include emissions from fuel used in company aircraft, vehicles, emergency generators, and natural gas heaters.
- Scope II emissions are indirect emissions from the production of purchased electricity. These emissions are produced at the power plant that generates the electricity used at FedEx facilities.
- Scope III emissions are other indirect emissions that FedEx has no direct control over. They include tailpipe emissions from contracted transportation, and emissions produced in the extraction, processing and transportation of fuels used.
FedEx Customers can assimilate FedEx emissions reporting under their Scope 3 reporting.
Carbon dioxide equivalent or CO2e is a measure of the warming potential of GHG and allows a single value to represent the global warming potential (GWP) of multiple gases. In the report, the gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
A ton-mile is a transportation measurement that describes one ton of freight carried one mile (or one kilogram of freight carried one kilometer).
Exclusions
Certain emissions information outside the U.S. and Canada may be incomplete due to system incompatibility. Excluded data includes, but is not limited to, domestic shipment data for certain countries/territories, including, but not limited to, Australia, Brazil, China, France, and Poland. A detailed download of what shipments are included in the report is available. Exclusions are updated periodically and are subject to change without notice.
