Reducing the emission of air and noise pollutants 5 WORKING TO ACCELERATE ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSITION FOR ALL ■

5.2 REDUCING THE EMISSION OF AIR AND NOISE POLLUTANTS To participate in preserving air quality , La Poste Groupe is strengthening its expertise and commitment to local air pollution issues. Urban logistics is at the heart of the issue, in order to meet the requirements of the Mobility Orientation Act and the introduction of low-emission zones in cities. The group wants to meet the environmental and health challenges of a more sustainable city. The air quality policy implemented across the entire scope of the group is based on a three-pronged approach: In France, as part of the cyclological plan launched by the French Ministry for the Environmental Transition, La Poste Group’s objective is to use cyclo-mobility solutions to deliver parcels in city centres in the 40 largest French cities.

These decreases in athmospheric pollutants emissions are the result of several types of actions, including ecodriving training, choice of vehicles that consume less fuel and emit fewer pollutants 97% of Vehiposte’s fleet is now made up of Euro 5 or 6 standard), and the increase in the number of electric vehicles and other low emission delivery methods. Nitrogen oxide and fine particle emissions (metric tonnes)

■ Prevention. To reduce pollutant emissions, La Poste Groupe is continuously improving the quality and performance of its vehicle fleet. Its vehicle renewal policy also allows it to maintain a fleet of vehicles less than five years old among the most efficient; ■ Measurement. In 2015, La Poste began monitoring the emissions of four air pollutants that are regulated under Euro standards, in association with the French Agency for Ecological Transition ( Agence de la transition écologique - ADEME) and France Environnement. The scope of this monitoring is that of the vehicle fleet managed by Véhiposte, a group subsidiary; ■ Reduction. The group is taking active steps to reduce atmospheric pollutants through its vehicle selection policy and its urban logistics approach (see also Section 5.3.2 “Reducing emissions from vehicles and transport”). In terms of air quality, La Poste Groupe is one of the few companies to have a local air pollutant (LAP) emissions reduction trajectory for 2025, which is very ambitious: ■ due to its scope , which includes the entire internal fleet of the group’s two logistics business units (Services-Mail-Parcels and GeoPost) as well as its entire subcontracting fleet; ■ due to the commitments made for the 2021-2025 period : reduction in local atmospheric pollutants of 41% for carbon monoxide (CO), 60% for nitrogen oxides (NOx), 6% for PM2.5 particles and a stability of PM10 particles. These objectives are based on the measurement of CO, NOx and particulate emissions (PM10 and PM2.5) over the entire scope, for which the group uses robust and recognised methods (COPERT (1) and HBEFA (2) ). The group’s ambition is to provide low-emission deliveries to 350 European cities by 2025. The Services-Mail-Parcels business unit aims to ensure low-emission delivery in the 44 French urban areas by 2025. The objective is to deliver one in two parcels in low carbon mode by 2025.

Nitrogen oxide emissions from vehicles managed by Véhiposte

Particulate emissions from vehicles managed by Véhiposte

In Europe, Geopost/DPDgroup has equipped more than 1300 vehicles and sites with laser sensors to measure air quality, particularly fine and ultrafine particles (PM2.5). By the end of 2022, the programme had been rolled out in a total of 28 European cities. The real-time data generated by the program is used to create interactive air quality maps that allow local authorities to make informed decisions. In urban areas, noise pollution is mainly caused by variations in vehicle speed, engine noise and friction between tyres and the road surface. The noise emitted by tail lifts or reversing alarms represents occasional noise pollution.

(1) COPERT (Computer Program to Calculate Emissions from Road Transport) is the calculator of air pollutants due to road transport developed by the European Environment Agency. (2) HBEFA (Handbook of Emissions Factors for Road Transport) is a European database that provides emission factors, i.e. pollutant emissions in g per km for all categories of road vehicles.
