Sustainability reporting

Overview

At An Post we understand the importance of using sustainability frameworks in guiding how we identify risks and opportunities. Working with our stakeholders, we identified the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the key framework for creating our sustainability strategy and reporting on relevant areas for our business. This framework is also used by the European postal sector and the International Postal Corporation (IPC).

Reporting

We have identified objectives and metrics to monitor our progress in relation to each of the five SDGs to which we are committed with the Sustainability Report 2020 outlining our plans and tracking our progress against these SDGs to provide transparency to our reporting.

Our memberships and certifications

At An Post we strongly believe that being active members of bodies which support sustainability initiatives, as well as obtaining relevant certifications, are key to maintaining momentum and focus towards our goals.

Tracking our progress

We have identified objectives and metrics to monitor our progress in relation to each of the five SDGs to which we are committed. To ensure transparency in our reporting, we have also included an indicator as to our current assessment of the likelihood of achieving the objective within the stated timeframe. This is to acknowledge the fact that many of our targets are ambitious in nature.
