Environmental responsibility – on the way to net-zero emissions

Geopost is the first international parcel delivery company whose short- and long-term carbon reduction targets have been endorsed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This landmark recognition confirms that Geopost’s action plan to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040 is scientifically credible and encourages the company to become an international example for other sustainable shippers.

The main measures we plan to take toward reducing our CO2 emissions by 90% by 2040 are making regular transport services more environmentally friendly, implementing software solutions, increasing the share of electric vans and making conscious decisions on the locations of parcel lockers.

Priorities

Climate change

Our goal is to implement preventive and systematic measures that make a significant contribution to climate change mitigation.

Under Geopost’s net-zero emission objective, we monitor our scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions, ensuring that our scope 1 and 2 net emissions reach zero by the year 2040.

Transportation emissions

We continuously measure and report our fuel and energy consumption while increasing the share of low-emission vehicles. In addition to electric vans, we have introduced HVO and gas-fuelled vehicles.

DPD has the largest number of electric vans among private courier companies in Estonia

  • Since October 2020, DPD uses electric vans everywhere in Estonia. By the end of 2025, we will increase the number of electric vans to 100, so that parcel delivery in ten Estonian cities will be done only by electric vans. 

  • We have installed a total of 79 charging points for electric vans in our sorting centres across Estonia.

  • Together with our partners, we have invested around 4 million euros into clean transport and charging infrastructure.

  • The decision to invest in electric vehicles reflects DPD Estonia’s commitment to promoting environmentally friendly business practices.

  • By 2030, we plan to replace 95% of the current delivery vehicles with electric vans.

Second-largest parcel locker network in Estonia

In order to reduce the burden on the environment, DPD Estonia has placed its parcel lockers in such a manner that 82% of the Estonian population is located within 3 kilometres of a DPD parcel locker.

By making conscious decisions on the locations of our lockers, we make sure that more than three-quarters of the Estonian population can reach a parcel locker by walking, cycling or public transport and prevent additional burden on the environment.

In this way, parcel delivery also consumes less resources, as a courier can transport more parcels to a locker during a single round, which means fewer trips and fewer stops. This will reduce the total mileage, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

DPD has more than 1100 parcel lockers in the Baltic countries and more than 120,000 pickup points across Europe.
