Quality Driven Management

Delivering on our promise to customers

“I will make every FedEx experience outstanding.” That’s the Purple Promise: our pledge to customers and each other that sets the bar for excellence.

We deliver on this commitment through Quality Driven Management, or QDM, an innovative quality system developed by FedEx.
