Our environment

At Australia Post, we consistently strive to deliver better environmental and social outcomes.

Corporate responsibility

Our journey towards a sustainable future

In support of the Australian Government’s commitment to Net Zero, we’re also targeting Net Zero by 2050. Which is why we’re undertaking a comprehensive range of initiatives, including reducing our carbon footprint through our electric delivery vehicle fleet, investing in renewable energy sources, and reducing, reusing and recycling packaging and waste.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to contribute to a greener future. As a valuable team member, we can all take action to minimise environmental impacts on our planet.  

Our pathway to target Net Zero by 2050

Our approach to environmental management is multi-faceted and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We’re focusing on:

  • reducing our carbon emissions  
  • investing in renewable electricity
  • increasing our electric vehicle fleet
  • reducing, reusing and recycling materials  
  • facilitating a circular economy  
  • increasing transparency in our supply chain

Reducing the impact of our packaging range

We’re working hard to find solutions that reduce negative environmental impacts, while ensuring that our packaging is fit for purpose and parcels arrive safely. It’s not always easy, but we’re moving in the right direction.

Business sustainability 

We help our business customers operate more responsibly. We’re proud sponsors of the Banksia Sustainability Awards, and encourage you to get involved and apply.

Our facilities 

Our commitment to operating ethically and responsibly is driven by a long-term vision to create value for the community, and includes continually improving energy efficiency across our network of Post Offices, mail facilities and support offices.
