Our environment
At Australia Post, we consistently strive to deliver better environmental and social outcomes.
Our journey towards a sustainable future
In support of the Australian Government’s commitment to Net Zero, we’re also targeting Net Zero by 2050. Which is why we’re undertaking a comprehensive range of initiatives, including reducing our carbon footprint by increasing our electric delivery vehicle fleet, investing in renewable energy sources, and reducing, reusing and recycling packaging and waste.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to contribute to a greener future. Whether you’re a customer, a small business owner, or part of a large enterprise or government, we can all take action to minimise environmental impacts on our planet.
Our pathway to target Net Zero by 2050
Our approach to environmental management is multi-faceted and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We’re focussing on:
Reducing the impact of our packaging range
Like you, we’re conscious of the environmental impact of packaging.
We’re working hard to find solutions that reduce negative environmental impacts, while ensuring that our packaging is fit for purpose and parcels arrive safely. It’s not always easy, but we’re moving in the right direction.
Our facilities
Our commitment to operating ethically and responsibly is driven by a long-term vision to create value for the community, and includes continually improving energy efficiency across our network of Post Offices, mail facilities and support offices.
