Poczta Polska is among the most eco-friendly companies in Poland
Poczta Polska's efforts to introduce electric vehicles into its fleet were recognized by Fokus Magazine. Poczta Polska ranked 8th in their ranking of the most eco-friendly companies in Poland.
The ranking was based on the "Analysis of Pro-Environmental Solutions of the Largest Polish Enterprises" prepared by Sotrender. Fokus Magazine entrusted experts with analyzing the pro-environmental activities of the surveyed companies. These were representatives of companies, NGOs, and academic institutions who routinely handle PR or CSR and also specialize in environmental protection. They sought answers to questions related to, among other things, the convergence of the company's activities with the industry in which they operate and the actual impact of pro-environmental activities on improving and protecting the natural environment, as well as reducing environmental damage. The ranking assessed the pro-environmental activities of the 100 largest companies in the Polish market.
Poczta Polska (Polish Post) has been recognized for a project implemented in collaboration with Energa concerning the introduction of electric vehicles. Energa will help the Polish Post Office provide infrastructure for electric vehicles, including the necessary charging devices and management systems. Since 2018, the company has been conducting the largest tests of electric vehicles available on the domestic market in Poland. In April of last year, vehicles from seven manufacturer brands, with a load capacity of up to 800 kg, participated. At the same time, in addition to the vehicles, various types of charging stations lent by their owners were also tested. Further tests of electric vehicles up to 3.5 tons were completed in mid-May of this year. Eight vehicles from brands available on the Polish market participated. Postal workers recently tested tractor-trailers powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), and from mid-November, Poczta Polska employees will be delivering parcels using electric Nissan e-NV200s, which will be provided by Arval Service Lease Polska for long-term rental. The Polish Post currently has the largest fleet of electric utility vehicles in Poland.
Last year, as part of its modernization efforts, Poczta Polska also replaced the lighting inside its largest parcel sorting facilities , installed new exterior lighting, and installed lighting in other buildings within the sorting facility. These modern solutions were implemented at the forwarding and distribution hubs in Lisi Ogon, Pruszcz Gdański, Komorniki, Warsaw, and Wrocław.
Poczta Polska estimates that thanks to these modern solutions, it will save an additional PLN 2 million annually and reduce CO2 emissions by over 4,300 tons annually. Further lighting modernization is planned for additional postal facilities, primarily those that consume the most energy.
