Facts and Figures
The PostEurop GHG Reduction Programme was launched in June 2007 following mandate by the Environmental Working Group.
In 2007, it was estimated according to the Environmental Working Group that European public postal operators within PostEurop emits between 8 and 11 million tonnes of CO2 annually and approximately two-thirds are from EU-based operators.
In 2008, following setting-up of a proper protocol and measurement in place, it was reported that the total amount of CO2 emissions by 14 member operators amounted to 4.55 Mt of CO2.
In 2009, further development to the protocol and measurement driven by the Environmental specialists within the PostEurop Environmental Working Group showed a result of 4.49 Mt of CO2 emitted by 13 member operators. The difference being is due to improvements to the original scope of measurement.
Today, 17 PostEurop members are actively participating in the GHG Reduction Programme and 8 other PostEurop members joined the programme in 2009 as observers.
