Corporate responsibility strategy 

We’re acting now for tomorrow

Socially responsible employer, responsible procurement, sustainable customer solutions, the common good, climate and energy: in terms of responsible action, these are Swiss Post’s five priority areas of action.

Corporate responsibility is firmly enshrined in the Group strategy. Because Swiss Post aims to power a modern Switzerland and drive forward sustainable development – including for the generations to come. For this reason, it is pursuing a corporate strategy that is responsible, climate-friendly and committed to ethical principles. The aim is to find an appropriate balance between economic success, environmental action and social responsibility, while taking account of the needs of current and future generations. In addition to its focus on climate and energy (see below), Swiss Post has defined four other priority areas of action:

Socially responsible employer
