COMMITMENTS IN DETAIL

Purchases of low-carbon transport services La Poste has made a strong commitment: by 2030, thanks to the gradual conversion of road transport, 50% of the kilometres travelled by La Poste in France will be covered by low-carbon heavy goods vehicles. As a result, La Poste has invested €400 million to convert its fleet of heavy vehicles to low-carbon energies and to support its 600 partner carriers in their transition. The technical, CSR and purchasing teams are working together to support the deployment of this strong ambition with suppliers. Purchasing of responsible and low-carbon delivery services 100% of delivery consultations contain an environmental management criterion such as driver training in eco-driving or the existence of a fuel consumption traceability system. 100% of the delivery framework agreements include social requirements, in terms of compliance with the French Labour Code and prevention in terms of health and safety. The contracts stipulate that the supplier’s employees must be equipped with personal protective equipment (gloves, shoes, masks). On-site checks are carried out on the possession of driving licenses and the adequacy between the license plate and the Euro standard used by the vehicle. A second-level control of the compliance with regulations is carried out by the risk managers. Specifiers, buyers and the CSR team regularly participate in a “Delivery” Committee, which addresses the issues of risk prevention in terms of health, safety, illegal work, and environmental transition. Delivery buyers educate their suppliers about sustainable development. La Poste supports its delivery service providers to promote their environmental transition: ■ by explaining the current regulations and the ecosystem; A questionnaire on ESG practices was sent to delivery personnel. It will enable the group to improve its knowledge of the existing fleet of delivery personnel in terms of atmospheric pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (number of km travelled, fuel consumption of the fleet) as well as its reporting. Inclusive purchasing As a local player, La Poste Groupe aims to achieve €40 million in purchases from the sheltered and social inclusion sector by 2025. To this end, the purchasing function and its contacts remained mobilised in 2022 to allocate, in whole or in part, certain types of purchases of goods or services to players in the social and solidarity-based economy or the protected workforce integration sectors (printing services, cleaning, green spaces, small maintenance equipment, etc.). To this end, the group is involved in various initiatives: ■ La Poste Groupe was one of the pilot companies participating in the AGEFIPH “digital disability diagnosis” project. This solution, developed by AGEFIPH, offers companies to help them meet their growing need for digital skills, but also their obligation to employ disabled workers. La Poste Groupe’s subsidiary Docaposte took part in the audit work aimed at identifying or developing opportunities for employing disabled people and increasing collaboration with the disabled and sheltered sector and acculturating the teams to take into account diversity and disability; ■ La Poste Groupe continues its partnership with Handeco and its participation (conferences) in the online fair for solidarity purchases, HandiHA. This fair brings together buyers and companies in the disabled and sheltered sector. At the La Poste stand, companies can establish contact and learn more about the group’s procedures and policies. Buyers can organise speed meeting sessions to meet with companies in their portfolio; ■ La Poste is a partner of the inclusion platform, whose objective is to develop the integration sector, in particular by bringing together contractors and companies in this sector. ■ by informing them about the assistance available to make the environmental transition; ■ by offering them negotiated tariffs on natural gas and biogas for the purchase of clean fuel; ■ by considering courses of action to meet specifications with strict environmental requirements.
