Liechtensteinische Post striving for climate neutrality by the end of 2025

Liechtensteinische Post AG, headquartered in Schaan, is seeking to cut its carbon footprint to zero by the end of 2025. All CO2 emissions that are unable to be independently reduced will be offset with the support of certified climate protection projects, further details of which can be found in a press release.

According to the press release, one of the main pillars of the climate-neutral strategy at Liechtensteinische Post is a CO2-neutral vehicle fleet. To this end, Liechtensteinische Post is in the process of gradually converting its vehicle fleet to electrically powered vehicles as part of a project first launched back in 2012. Around half of the fleet is now electric. In addition, the company has introduced a parking management scheme, which together with the conversion of the vehicle fleet “will lead to a significant reduction in the CO2 value”.

The second important pillar to achieve the ambition of net zero is climate-neutral supplier transport. According to the information, this transition will not be possible before the beginning of 2025 due to existing supply contracts. “However, by the end of 2025, this CO2 item in the climate balance sheet should also be reduced to zero”, as the company writes in the press release.

CO2 emissions that Liechtensteinische Post is unable to reduce of its own accord, for example journeys made by employees and operational waste, are to be offset with the support of certified climate protection projects from the end of 2025 onwards.

Since 2020, Liechtensteinische Post has been calculating its carbon footprint with the help of ClimatePartner. After CO2 emissions fell to 1,407.9 tons in 2021, there was a renewed increase to 1,527 tons last year. The reason for this rise was an increased volume of parcel deliveries and the return of employees to the workplace after working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
