What happened
The Diocese of Fort Worth sponsored a shareholder proposal at FedEx’s annual meeting on September 28. The proposal asked FedEx’s board to report within a year on how the company oversees the legal, regulatory, and reputational risks of transporting mail-order abortion drugs. The board opposed the proposal, though the proposal did not require the company to cease shipping the drug.

Why it matters
The proposal highlights potential legal and reputational risks for FedEx related to the transport of mifepristone into states where abortion is illegal. This could influence how FedEx manages its operational risk and public image as a major shipping service.
