Responsibility

A Swiss Post that fulfils its responsibility towards the economy, society, employees and the environment will remain relevant in the future. When it comes to climate and energy, Swiss Post is therefore improving its energy efficiency and increasing its share of renewable energies. With investments in CO₂ reduction and technologies to remove residual emissions from the atmosphere, Swiss Post as a whole, including its value chain, aims to reach net zero from 2040. Secure and trustworthy use of the Internet is also an important issue for Swiss Post. That is why it has defined digital ethics values and principles and communicated them both internally and externally. With its support for social and cultural projects, Swiss Post gives something back to the Swiss public. One example of this is the company’s commitment as the main partner to the Swiss Hiking Trail Federation.

Swiss Post is making its supply chains sustainable

For procurement volumes over 150,000 francs, Swiss Post therefore applies defined sustainability criteria with a weighting of at least 15 percent.
