Austrian Post

Austrian Post (Oesterreichische Post AG), headquartered in AT, reported total emissions of about 619.65 million kg CO2e in 2024. For 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 85.77 million kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of around 44.99 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 4.40 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 100.06 million kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions stood at roughly 91.14 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 48.53 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions at around 5.86 million kg CO2e.

Austrian Post has set ambitious climate targets, which are cascaded from its ultimate parent, Österreichische Post AG. The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. Near-term targets include a 45.3% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2021 base year. Additionally, Austrian Post aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and business travel by 25% within the same timeframe. Long-term targets involve a 90% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050 from a 2021 base year, and a 90% reduction in Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and business travel within the same timeframe. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.

Earlier commitments included a 14% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2025 from a 2013 base year. Austrian Post also aims to switch its entire vehicle fleet to non-fossil fuels for last-mile deliveries by 2030. Austrian Post signed The Climate Pledge in April 2022.
