(NYSE: FDX) today announced joining <a href=\"https:\/\/hederacouncil.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hedera Council<\/a>, a governing body made up of leading global organizations dedicated to fostering trust, security, and innovation on the Hedera network. FedEx joins the Council to help advance trusted digital infrastructure that can support the evolving lifecycle of global shipments and make supply chains smarter for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FedEx\u2019s participation in Hedera Council reflects its long-term strategic focus on enabling global commerce to operate increasingly at the speed of data rather than the speed of paper or physical checkpoints. As supply chains become more digitally integrated, trusted data infrastructure is expected to play a growing role in supporting automation, enhanced digital visibility, and continuous compliance, while maintaining strong governance and risk controls across complex international trade environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hedera\u2019s public, enterprise-grade distributed ledger technology (DLT) provides a governed trust and notarization layer designed to support interoperable, multi-platform digital ecosystems while allowing enterprises to retain control of high-volume and sensitive operational data within their own environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through its role on the Hedera Council, FedEx intends to contribute operational expertise and architectural perspective to support open, cooperative approaches to distributed infrastructure that enable the long-term digital evolution of global supply chains, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Helping advance trusted digital infrastructure for the future of global supply chains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reducing friction in cross-border commerce by enabling secure, shared data verification across organizations and jurisdictions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe digital transformation of global supply chains is inevitable,\u201d said Vishal Talwar, executive vice president, chief digital and information officer of FedEx Corp., and president of FedEx Dataworks. \u201cAs supply chains become increasingly digital-native, trusted data must be shared and verified across many parties without increasing risk or centralizing control. Hedera provides a neutral, enterprise-grade trust layer that enables verification at global scale, while allowing organizations like FedEx to continue building differentiated capabilities on top.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to welcome FedEx to the Council,\u201d said Tom Sylvester, president of Hedera Council. \u201cFedEx brings deep operational insight into global logistics and commerce, and their perspective will be valuable as the industry transitions toward digitally native supply chains. We look forward to working together to advance trusted, interoperable data verification that supports collaboration across industries and jurisdictions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Council member, FedEx will operate a node on the Hedera network and will hold equal voting rights alongside other members, participating directly in the governance of Hedera software and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About FedEx Corp.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FedEx Corp.
