Groupe La Poste // ESG Essentials 2022
La Poste Groupe ’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 amounted to nearly 2.4 million tCO 2 eq ( vs 2.7 million tCO 2 eq in 2021, i.e. -11%). This reduction of 290,000 tCO 2 eq is explained by the combined effects of a change in reporting methodology and decarbonisation policies: ❚ an improvement in the methodology and data consolidation system within the group, which accounted for nearly 37% of the reduction (air travel emission factors and increased reliability of the subsidiaries’ reporting systems); ❚ the continued deployment of an ambitious sustainable real estate policy (7%); ❚ the continued optimisation of road transport, both by the group and subcontracted (20%); ❚ the decrease in air transport in 2022 (36%). In total, the GHG emissions from the parcel business decreased by 6% in 2022. All of the group’s residual emissions are voluntarily offset by the fi nancing of offsetting projects. In addition, the certi fi cation of the SBTi trajectories (1.5°) of the group’s main activities continued: ❚ La Banque Postale obtained SBTi certi fi cation already in 2021 for its trajectory based on a target of a 46% reduction in its GHG emissions on Scopes 1 and 2 between 2021 and 2030 and the ambition to achieve scienti fi cally determined objectives on 85% of its total fi nancing and investment portfolio by 2030; ❚ GeoPost has committed to reducing its Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions by 43% by 2030 and by 90% by 2040 compared to a baseline of 2020. Its medium-term (2030) and long-term (2040) trajectories were validated by the SBTi in February 2023. ❚ La Poste is committed to a joint medium-term (42% reduction in emissions on Scopes 1 and 2 and 25% on Scope 3 by 2030) and long-term (90% reduction between 2021 and 2040) trajectory. This medium-term (2030) and long-term (2040) trajectory was submitted to the SBTi in December 2022.
