Deutsche Post AG has set ambitious climate commitments. The company has a long-term objective to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, a target that has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in July 2024. For near-term reductions, Deutsche Post AG commits to cutting absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, using a 2021 base year. Additionally, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and business travel by 25% by 2030, also from a 2021 base year. Long-term targets include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050, compared to the 2021 baseline. The company plans to invest €7 billion until 2030 in clean operations to support these targets.
