Croatian Post is taking big steps toward sustainable business

It is an issue that will influence the overall economic orientation in the next years. This year, Croatian Post took numerous significant efforts towards changing its business into a “green” and sustainable one.

Croatian Post’s vehicle fleet received an additional 100 Silence SO2 electric mopeds at the start of the summer. The Croatian Post’s green vehicle fleet now comprises more than 423 electric vehicles, making it Croatia’s largest “green” vehicle fleet. Croatian Post will reduce CO2 emissions by more than 1,300 tons this year thanks to new electric vehicles. Croatian Post is also developing its own network of electric vehicle charging stations within sorting and delivery centers as well as business facilities. More than 60 charging stations have been installed so far, and by the end of the year, there will be more than 80. Charging stations are being set up in 18 cities, from Osijek to Dubrovnik, creating conditions for the expansion of the electric vehicle fleet throughout Croatia.

With the installation of the 300th parcel locker in May, the postal green delivery channel network was completed. Parcel lockers are important in the context of sustainable business because they reduce CO2 emissions by increasing the percentage of successful deliveries made on the first try, resulting in delivery vehicles visiting fewer locations. Parcel lockers are now available in frequented and easily accessible locations across Croatia, including the islands of Korčula, Hvar, Brač, Pag, Vir, Krk and Lošinj.

Croatian Post has created a new strategy for the period up to 2025, with a direction until 2030, that will serve as a foundation and guide for the further development of sustainable business, with a particular emphasis on the “green” transition and user experience. Environmental, social and corporate governance is grouped into four major development pillars: economy, environment, society and labor.
