“Responsibility is an increasingly important selection criterion for our customers. Being recognized by EcoVadis is an important signal to us and our customers that we are doing the right things. However, our work does not end here, and we will continue to work hard to curb climate change and promote sustainable business,” says Noomi Jägerhorn, Head of Sustainability at Posti.
