Within Scope 3, upstream transportation and distribution represent the largest contributor, at approximately 24.1 billion kg CO2e.

Deutsche Post AG has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 across all scopes. As part of its near-term strategy, Deutsche Post AG has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2021 as the base year. Furthermore, it aims to reduce specific Scope 3 emissions (including fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and business travel) by 25% by 2030 from the same 2021 baseline. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has also announced investments of €7 billion by 2030 in clean operations to support these emission reduction goals.
