Overview

At An Post we are acutely aware of the impacts of climate change and the urgency of action. We are committed to leading change in Ireland and creating a healthy environment in which our communities can thrive for generations. This is why we have a commitment of net zero carbon emissions from our own operations by 2030, with a 50% reduction by 2025. We continue to monitor and report on this progress and we are on track.

The journey so far

Climate change is a critical issue for us as we recognise the role that we have to play in minimising the mark we leave on the environment and in our communities so that they can thrive for generations. More than making commitments and creating plans, at An Post we continue to deliver climate actions and are on track to halve our carbon emissions by 2025. Having reduced our carbon emissions by 26% since 2009 , in 2021 we reached milestones on our journey to net zero with being the first postal service in the world to attain zero emission delivery status in all major and avoiding €1.5m in fuel costs through better fleet efficiency in 2021 alone.

Featured story - Our fleet

We can make the most positive environmental impact by decarbonising our fleet. We recognise that this is challenging, but by taking action and identifying the technologies and enablers we need to support our decarbonisation transformation, we can take a lead in Ireland.
