Net-zero emissions by 2040
Net-zero emissions by 2040
Geopost is the first global parcel delivery company to have both its near and long-term GHG emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This landmark approval scientifically endorses Geopost’s roadmap to reach net-zero by 2040 and sets the company on a clear path to becoming the international reference in sustainable delivery.
To achieve our targets by 2040, we will focus on:
-
Electrifying the first and last mile delivery fleet by increasing the share of alternative transport solutions
-
Diversifying the linehaul fleet to include alternative powertrain technologies with biofuels and electric trucks
-
Switching to renewable energy to power logistics sites and offices and driving towards more energy efficiency
In 2023, in BRT we have increased of +93% the fleet of electric vehicles and reduced of the -14,3% the emissions (kgCO2) for parcel compared to 2022.

We are committed to building an inclusive work environment, where people’s skills and talents are nurtured.
The BRT Academy is a space created to enhance the human capital of our company through the organization of online and in presence courses and trainings.
We support our communities through the support of initiatives such as Rise Against Hunger to fight hunger, and Corri la Vita for prevention, early detection, and treatment of breast cancer. We supported the Protezione Civile in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna region following the strong floods that occurred in 2023.
