Our path to net zero
We believe that the future is net zero. As an enterprise affiliated with the Confederation, we want to set an example – including in the areas of climate and energy. Our goal: by consistently reducing our CO₂ emissions, we aim to achieve net zero in our in-house operations and in our core business value chain by 2040. Together with partners, we are working on a best-effort basis to reduce other emissions across our value chain with a view to achieving net zero by 2050 at the latest. We have set ambitious interim targets for 2030.
What we have already achieved (as of 2025)
70% of our delivery vehicles are electric
For the transport of our delivery consignments, we are gradually switching to e-mobility. 7,763 of a total of 10,500 vehicles are electric. By delivery, we mean transport with our vehicles from a distribution base to our customers.
6% of our Postbuses are electric
We are also consistently expanding e-mobility in passenger transport. 143 of our total of 2,390 Postbuses are electric.
66% of buildings fitted with renewable heating systems
We are equipping our buildings in Switzerland with heating systems such as heat pumps, wood pellet heating or district heating.
6% of goods transport by road with alternative drive systems
In 2025, our consignment transport partners covered almost 9 million of a total of 160 million kilometres using alternative drive systems.
What climate and energy mean to us
We are reducing CO₂ emissions and using energy efficiently – guided by clear targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In 2026, we refined our climate target. The revalidation of our climate target by SBTi is pending.
Reducing CO₂ emissions
Our top priority is reducing CO₂ emissions in our core business and across the entire value chain. This is how we contribute to climate protection.
Switch to renewable energy
We are using energy more efficiently and expanding our use of renewable energy – in particular in logistics, passenger transport and our buildings.
Our contribution to global sustainability goals (SDGs)
In the areas of climate and energy, we support the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
How we are implementing our climate target
We are working on various strategies: we are reducing CO₂ emissions in logistics and passenger transport, further developing our buildings and energy supply, and taking responsibility for emissions that have not yet been reduced.
Reducing CO₂ in logistics
We are gradually converting our fleet of vehicles for the transport of letters, parcels and goods to electric vehicles and vehicles with alternative drive systems.
