EPA recognizes FedEx as leader in renewable energy use (U.S)

Posted by | Jan 30, 2008 | |

FedEx Kinko’s and the FedEx Express Oakland Hub were today recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Green Power Partnership program as one of 53 Fortune 500 companies investing in green power.

Nearly a year ago, EPA asked Fortune 500 companies to collectively invest in more than 5 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of green power – electricity that is generated from environmentally renewable resources, such as wind and solar. Today EPA announced that the program exceeded its goal by 130 percent.

The FedEx Express Oakland Hub Facility – a solar electric hub since 2005 – contributed to the goal by generating more than 1.2 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power, which can supply up to 80 percent of the facility’s peak energy demand, the equivalent of power used by more than 900 homes during the daytime. The Express Oakland Hub was one of only eight Fortune 500 companies on EPA’s list that acquires green power through an on-site renewable energy system, an innovative and proactive way to help protect the environment.

FedEx Kinko’s ranked on EPA’s Top 10 Retail list with more than 76 million kWh of green power or 32 percent of FedEx Kinko’s total energy consumption. Over 785 FedEx Kinko’s locations in 38 states purchase energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar.

DHL to offer shipping services from Walgreens

Posted by | Jan 8, 2008 | |

DHL said on Wednesday it has entered into an agreement with Walgreen Co to offer shipping services from Walgreen’s stores by the end of 2008.

DHL said in a statement that the agreement to offer overnight, ground or international package shipping services from 6,500 stores — Walgreen is projected to have that many outlets by the end of this year — will more than double its retail presence in the United States.

The “DHL Shipping Spot” will be staffed by Walgreen employees at photo counters, DHL said.

DHL has a far smaller U.S. presence than United Parcel Service Inc and its main rival FedEx Corp, which dominate the market.

Both package giants have their own branded retail presence, FedEx Kinko’s and UPS Stores.

DHL generated about USD 4 billion of revenue in 2006.

TechRestore Partners with FedEx for Laptop & iPod Repair Dropoffs

Posted by | Sep 18, 2007 | |

TechRestore announced Tuesday a partnership with FedEx that makes the company’s chain of FedEx Kinko’s stores a dropoff location for repairs of Apple laptops, iPods, and iPhones, as well as Sony PSPs and for data recovery. Customers wishing to schedule repairs with TechRestore online or via telephone can choose a dropoff option, and doing so alerts both TechRestore and FedEx with all the relevant information.

TechRestore’s basic business model has been one day turnaround in repairs, with the company sending customers a packing kit, which is then picked up by FedEx, which overnights your broken laptop or iPod to TechRestore. The company would then fix it and overnight it back to you. The new dropoff option allows customers to take the first day out of that process, and takes care of the shipping label on the FedEx side of the process.

FedEx Kinko's continues to expand footprint

Posted by | Sep 11, 2007 | |

In early August, FedEx Kinko’s made two major announcements. First, the company announced an aggressive expansion plan to open 300 new office and print centers in the United States throughout fiscal 2008. The company also will redesign 110 existing centers and introduce 20 new locations internationally. A few days later, FedEx Kinko’s announced plans to open five office and print centers in the McCormick Place convention center and historic Navy Pier in Chicago. So when you show up at Graph Expo in September, although the new FedEx Kinko’s sites will not have been formally launched (scheduled for later in September), they will reflect the FedEx Kinko’s brand.

WhatTheyThink spoke with Tom Leverton, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer at FedEx Kinko’s, to learn more about the company’s expansion plans. Leverton leads FedEx Kinko’s domestic retail expansion operations and manages the company’s digital networks and centralized production facilities. His responsibilities include strategy, network operations, national retail product businesses, supply chain and real estate. He joined FedEx Kinko’s in 2001 as vice president, strategy and business development and later expanded his role to vice president, strategy and marketing. Leverton’s professional experience also includes corporate strategy, finance, business development and consulting with TXU Energy, Bain and Company and Johnson & Johnson.
