Overview

An Post play a central role in Irish life and society, and are uniquely positioned to partner with other businesses, organisations, government and communities to help drive innovation to deliver sustainable, long-term growth and prosperity to Ireland. It is essential that we draw on new and developing technologies, integrate best practices and undertake strategic initiatives to achieve our sustainability goals.

The journey so far

In 2021, we began to address some of our biggest challenges, such as alternative fuels, trialling the use of HVO (Hydro-treated Vegetable Oil) for fleet fuel and transitioning to a circular economy. By championing technological innovation to advance our efforts, we are able to create forward-thinking solutions that will transform our operations and minimise our environmental impact.

Feature Story – Smart deliveries

In 2021, we launched My Deliveries to help customers manage their parcel deliveries and decide on an alternative delivery option of their choice. By reducing second delivery attempts and minimising stops, we can optimise our operations and increase the fuel efficiency of our journeys.

Looking forward

Our ambition is to get to net zero carbon emissions from our own operations by 2030 and in order to achieve this we need to achieve 100% zero carbon transport. Innovation is key to solving the challenges we face in delivering on our sustainability ambitions.
