Australia Post offsets emissions from 108 million parcels in partnership with Qantas
Australia Post has today announced that since October 2019, through its Post Office Network and MyPost Business platform, and working in partnership with Qantas Future Planet, it has offset more than 200,000 tonnes of emissions – the equivalent of taking 85,000 cars off the road.
The announcement comes ahead of World Environment Day on Saturday, and as the organisation’s science based target to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 15 per cent by 2025 was officially validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative, making Australia Post one of 13 organisations nationally to have their target validated.
Recent weather events in Western Australia served to further emphasise the fact our climate is changing. It’s also adding to the awakening that businesses, and importantly, customers are taking notice and speaking up about our changing environment. As a business community, it’s our duty to listen.
As the need for organisations to continue the acceleration of their transformation and innovation agendas, there’s pressing need to find a way to combine technology and sustainability without stifling growth. This is unleashing a whole new stream of innovation.
We can’t turn back the clock and avoid February’s fires that destroyed >27,000 acres of bush around Wooroloo, or the devastating cyclonic conditions in April that affected the residents of Kalbarri. But we can take steps forward, and fuel new innovations that team technology and sustainability together to build a better future.
