Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Policy have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. Terms not defined in the Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Transportation Agreement.

SECTION 2. DESCRIPTION AND REQUIREMENTS

  1. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, FedEx will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer access to and use of FSI APIs and FSI Data (as each is further described in the Agreement). Without prejudice to the Disclaimer of Warranties and Liabilities applicable to the Subscription Services, Customer understands that the FSI Data to be provided will be the data and information available to FedEx at the time, that it may be limited and incomplete and that such FSI Data may change or be modified. FSI Data relies on the availability of such third-party data may be impacted and not available in the event FedEx does not receive third-party data. Third-party data is dependent upon FedEx receiving it from the applicable third party.
  2. The FSI Data is based upon an analysis of emissions and shipment information for the identified FedEx account number(s), FedEx tracking number(s), or Global Entity Number (GEN). The methodology used to calculate the CO2e emissions information is believed to produce substantially accurate emissions data. However, certain FSI Data outside the U.S. and Canada may be incomplete due to system incompatibility. Excluded data may include, but is not limited to, domestic shipment data for certain countries/territories, including, but not limited to, Australia, Brazil, China, France and Poland. See https://www.fedex.com/en-us/carbon-footprint-insights.html for more information.
  3. The methodology used to calculate the FSI Data is verified to the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework and aligned with the World Resources Institute (WRI) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.. The GLEC Framework was designed to calculate greenhouse gas emissions across a variety of transportation modes. FSI 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.
  4. Through the FSI APIs, the Subscription Services allow a customer to integrate and partially configure FSI Data by service type, country, transport mode, weight, and origin/destination to facilitate emissions reporting. These configurations include the following.
    • Customer will be able to view emissions using EANs and/or associated tracking/package ID level.
    • Emissions are shown by associated 'payor' account only. Customer(s) will have to provide EANs by 'payor' account during onboarding.
    Please note the following for the FedEx® Sustainability Insights APIs:
    Access to and use of the Subscription Service requires Credentials. FedEx provides Credentials only to those Customers that have executed an Order Form for the FedEx Sustainability Insights API Subscription Service. The credentials include a client id and client secret using which an access token can be generated Customer must use the access token in order to request Insights from the Subscription Service. The access token is valid for an hour.

    Available in the US only

    Historic API (post-shipment) - This API can be integrated into customer systems. Data available post-delivery – our backend system updates every 24 hours.

    Predictive API (Pre-shipment) - Predictive API is created with machine learning modeling
