Did you know that Swiss Post procures goods and services from over 20,000 businesses in around 1,700 Swiss municipalities, contributing to the creation of thousands of jobs at local companies? Or that it operates photovoltaic systems covering an area of 70,000 square metres on its roofs? The benefits that Swiss Post offers to Switzerland go far beyond its function as a universal service provider, procurer, employer and responsible stakeholder in environmental protection issues.

We have compiled a selection of some lesser-known facts and figures about Swiss Post for you. Get ready for some surprises.
