FedEx reports 14.9 Mt of Scope 1 and 2 emissions with EY review-level assurance, but its contracted-transport Scope 3 rose from 6.36 Mt to 6.78 Mt in FY25 while Scope 1 and 2 fell. It gives no current renewable share, little on packaging or nature, and no water data, and it belongs to trade groups that oppose climate policy.
FedEx scores 29/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified October 2026.
That places FedEx joint 634th of 847 companies scored, and joint 10th of 17 in Shipping / Logistics.
