Fulfilling Sustainability
Sustainability is a key component of Posti’s business strategy. Posti’s ambitious climate efforts are one great example of this commitment: our objective is to operate fossil-free by 2030 and be on net-zero what comes to our emissions by 2040.
At Posti, we want to minimize our negative impacts on the environment, people, and society while using our competencies and resources to make things better.
Sustainability has always been a part of us. We started using electric vehicles in the 80s, and our first environmental program hails back from the 90s. Today, responsibility for our planet is an integral part of our operations, and we are getting closer to our goal of fossil-free operations by the day. In 2023, our total emissions decreased by 17.4% and our own emissions decreased by 16.1% compared to the previous year.
Globally, our sustainability work ranks in the top 1%: in 2024, EcoVadis, the leading business sustainability assessment organization, once again ranked Posti at the platinum level, which is the highest possible level – now for the fourth year running.
