Improving climate resilience 5 WORKING TO ACCELERATE ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSITION FOR ALL ■

Support for transport and delivery service providers in their environmental transition La Poste Groupe is committed to its relations with transport suppliers and subcontractors in order to collectively progress in the environmental transition. Its relationships are characterised by: ■ regular exchanges, in order to enable the group to improve its knowledge of the performance of the existing delivery fleet in terms of atmospheric pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (number of km travelled, fuel consumption of the fleet) as well as its reporting; ■ the Services-Mail-Parcels business unit specifications for the choice of transport and delivery service providers include ESG criteria . Among other things, for long-distance routes, service providers must use lorries that meet at least the Euro 5 standards. Checks are carried out on a regular basis. Since 2021, 100% of delivery consultations contain a criterion relating to environmental management and 100% of transport consultations contain ESG criteria. More than 50 national transmission links have been set up with technological solutions for compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). The questionnaire sent to delivery service providers includes four topics related to climate and air pollutants: ■ driver training in eco-driving, ■ the existence of a consumption traceability system, ■ the transformation of the fleet towards vehicles using alternatives to diesel energy (electric, NGV, hydrogen, etc.), ■ knowledge of regulatory changes (traffic restrictions, etc.); ■ training and awareness-raising for service providers . Delivery people are informed of the current regulations and support systems for making the environmental transition; ■ support in their environmental transition: ■ proposal of negotiated prices on natural gas and biogas for the purchase of clean fuel, ■ courses of action to meet specifications with strict environmental requirements. In 2018, GeoPost/DPDgroup introduced a Responsible Purchasing Charter for all its subsidiaries. The Charter is inspired by the ILO (1) and the United Nations Global Compact. With regard to environmental issues, subcontractors and their supply chains are asked to: ■ ensure that environmental risks are identified, assessed and monitored;

■ take action to promote greater environmental responsibility; ■ do their utmost to follow industry best practice. The aim is to take appropriate measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants. GeoPost/DPDgroup strives to share best practice between its subsidiaries and subcontractors: ■ for example, alternative vehicles experiments are shared on a common interface; ■ deliveries in Paris by Chronopost and its subcontractors using 100% clean vehicles is a clear example. This initiative, which began in October 2019, has reduced GHG emissions by 87% and fine particle emissions by 99% in Paris. With funding via the Fraikin rental company, Chronopost has been able to enable its subcontractors to acquire electric vehicles at a cost similar to that of internal combustion vehicles. Since then, 41 other major French cities and 72 postal codes in the Paris region have been delivered 100% by clean vehicles. Launched in 2021, Movivolt (2) offers long-term electric vehicle leasing solutions, primarily to VSEs, SMEs, retailers and craftspeople, but also to logistics subcontractors, as well as to major accounts and local authorities, to enable them to integrate into low-emission zones without any business interruption. Movivolt was launched with an initial objective of 10,500 vehicles leased by 2025. At the end of 2022, it already had 600 vehicles under long-term lease, including several hundred for the transport subcontractors of Colissimo or DPD France. Reduction of emissions related to employee mobility Employee mobility for their business trips is characterised by: ■ a travel policy that favours rail over air travel and remote over face-to-face meetings; ■ the preponderance of journeys on foot or using electric bicycles by postmen; ■ the revision of the catalogue of service and company vehicles favouring low-emission vehicles. The catalogue of Company vehicles offers electric and hybrid vehicles in all segments and limits the offer of high-emission vehicles to large families. This policy also makes it possible to reduce the costs of the company car tax and the vehicle penalty. Véhiposte is working to remove diesel vehicles from the company car catalogue by 2024.
