Shaping sustainable communities through responsible divestment 

An Post is a key part of communities across Ireland, and we understand our role in creating sustainable, accessible, and future-ready spaces. By focusing on sustainability in how we manage our properties, we’re making real progress toward building a stronger, more efficient property network that benefits both our customers and the environment.

As we continue to evolve, we are modernising our properties to better meet customer needs while making sustainability a priority. We are moving from older buildings, originally designed for letters and counter services, to modern, fit-for-purpose premises that suit the needs of e commerce, financial services, and a low-carbon future. During this transition we are committed to ensuring that our vacant properties are repurposed in ways that benefit both An Post and the wider community. As a result, in 2024 we introduced a Responsible Divestment Protocol, which provides a transparent framework for working with stakeholders and finding the best sustainable future uses for our properties. This approach ensures that the intrinsic value of these buildings is realised, contributing to local development and providing long-term environmental benefits."
