https://t.co/rzuOsZRd9w just issued our 2023 Impact Report:
https://t.co/2gSRhUzx51
We've come a long way since 2017 when I read an article on the Syrian refugee crisis and asked, “how can we help?” Since then, the team has delivered more than 33M kilograms of relief goods to people all around the world.
Some key takeaways from the report:
There’s a huge opportunity for supply chain experts, like our https://t.co/rzuOsZRd9w team, to help the world in ways that aren’t always obvious. Logistics is critical in disaster response and should be one of the first things you think about in effective humanitarian aid. We have super powers to deliver anything, anywhere, including in the middle of a disaster, whether natural or man made.
https://t.co/rzuOsZRd9w works with freight partners and humanitarian orgs to ensure aid is received ASAP in some of the hardest to reach areas. The trust built in https://t.co/rzuOsZRd9w’s relationships means when future disasters occur, they’re ready to jump in and help right away.
.
https://t.co/rzuOsZRd9w’s form of philanthropy gives visibility into what was shipped where and when, and enables donor dollars to go towards lifesaving goods instead of logistics. Our network has donated millions of dollars so .org can provide free shipping for humanitarian programs.
Our work continues all over the world, nearly everyday, moving cargo by air, sea, and land, on behalf of some of the most important aid groups in the world.
Thanks especially to some of our major donors, Ron Conway, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, Paul Graham, Edward Norton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tech for Refugees, and Yuri and Julia Milner who made all of this possible. This Impact Report our thank you letter to you.

I just wrapped up my 78th customer call since stepping back into the Flexport CEO role 6 weeks ago. I’m a fan of business in the same the way some people are fans of sports. That means I have the greatest job in the world, getting a backstage pass to see how these awesome companies are run.
It's so fun trying to find ways we can make supply chain a growth enabler instead of a blocker as it’s often been the last few years.
If you’re a Flexport customer please DM me I’d love to connect and learn about your business.
Free money alert: If your company imports something and then later export it (or destroy it), you are owed a refund for the full duty amount from US Customs. Every year $6B goes unclaimed! Flexport will go back through up to 5 years of your history to claim these refunds for you. https://t.co/gxQ2nbAnb9
