Climate Action

 

Overview

At An Post we cannot wait until 2050 to get to net zero carbon emissions from our own operations, that is why we are choosing instead to bring our target forward to 2030. We have taken important steps within Climate Action over the last 12 months, to ensure we achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030. In addition to continuing our initiatives, the following will be key areas of focus for 2023 and beyond:
