Partners

Giving back to the community has always been important to FedEx and to its employees. Through a number of global, national and local relationships, FedEx is striving to improve the lives of people in those communities, in which its customers, employees and neighbors live and work.

Safety is a core value of FedEx, and it is the first consideration in all operations. FedEx partners with the Safe Kids Worldwide to promote child and pedestrian safety around the world.

Together, they have established the Safe Kids Walk This Way program, a year round program designed to teach pedestrian safety to children and to promote safe communities. Safe Kids Walk This Way has spread quickly and is celebrated in 600 schools annually in the United States, India, Canada, China, South Korea, Brazil and Philippines. Hundreds of different events and activities make up this program, from volunteers walking children to school; to parents and teachers spreading the message through educational sessions and activities in schools.

In India, the Walk This Way program was launched on 3rd October, 2007 on International Walk to School Day.
