Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

PostNL has set ambitious targets aligned with climate science. Key commitments include:

• Net-Zero by 2040: The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040.
• Scope 1 & 2 Reduction: PostNL is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2030, using a 2021 baseline. Some targets also indicate an 18% reduction by 2030 from a 2017 baseline for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
• Scope 3 Reduction: A target is in place to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 45% by 2030, based on a 2021 baseline. There is also an indication of a 90% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2040 from a 2021 base year.
• Renewable Electricity: PostNL commits to sourcing 100% renewable electricity annually through 2030.
• Emission-Free Delivery: By 2030, the company aims for emission-free last-mile delivery across the Benelux region. This includes a target for emission-free parcel delivery in 25 city centres across the Netherlands by 2025.
• Fleet Electrification: A key strategy for reducing Scope 1 emissions is the electrification of the company's fleet, with the aim of achieving zero-emission delivery from the final sorting centre to the consumer by 2030.

These targets are recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with near-term and long-term goals classified as consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
