PostNord has committed to completely fossil-free transport by 2030, and to have all last mile delivery fossil free by 2027.

According to the postal operator, this will be possible if the energy sector can go fossil free in this period, and on the ground it is helped with the pace of development of electric vehicles. Increases in biofuel production have also helped.

“I am very pleased that we have a distinct agenda for sustainable logistics. This will help us contribute to positive change for the people around us and will radically reduce the climate footprint of transport in the Nordic market and lay the foundations for completely fossil-free operations by 2030,” said President and Group CEO Annemarie Gardshol.

One of the other means of achieving better sustainability in the supply chain is to improve the working environment for its drivers. PostNord has committed to the aim that no employee, temporary or permanent should feel unsafe at work.

“To achieve this objective, PostNord has joined the Responsible Trucking Platform initiative, and we are currently adapting our operations to the Responsible Trucking Social Guidelines. One example of this is that PostNord’s Nordic terminals accessible to external drivers shall provide access to toilets, drinking water and protection against adverse weather conditions during loading and unloading by no later than 2025,” said Gardshol.

Gardshol concluded, “PostNord stands for a culture in which everyone can feel respected and listened to, and which ensures that we fully utilise the collective skills and insights that already exist in our large organisation”.
