Ambition of DPD/Geopost
Sustainability also means social impact
Sustainability also means social impact
For us, sustainability goes beyond reducing CO₂ emissions or conserving raw materials. We believe it is just as important that people are given the opportunity to get involved.
That is why we work with care organisations where participants can play a role at our parcel collection points, within their own capabilities. In this way, we combine the growth of our network with the creation of meaningful workplaces. For us, that is corporate social responsibility: doing business in a way that adds value for both our organisation and society.

Planet - Net zero in 2040
Net Zero means that we will have reduced our carbon emissions by 90% in 2040 at the latest. We will compensate the remaining 10% through projects that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. From 2024, we will therefore accelerate our actions to reduce our carbon emissions.
Most DPD's CO2 emissions are caused by the transport of parcels by trucks moving from depot to depot and between hubs. By accelerating investments to make our fleet cleaner, we expect to meet the targets 10 years earlier than agreed in the Paris climate accord and thus be Net Zero by 2040.
DPD/Geopost is the first worldwide parcel delivery service whose short and long-term goals for reducing carbon emissions have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This institute assesses the plans of organisations to check whether they meet the (science-based) goals. And we are very proud of that.
