The postal and logistics industry is a leading producer of carbon emissions. Transportation, packaging materials, energy, and land use contribute to a carbon footprint much larger than that of many other businesses.
As governments and consumers worldwide have expressed increasing commitment to sustainability in supply chains, postal operators have started investing in greener infrastructure, reducing emissions across their processing operations. Sustainability has also become an increased focus of the U.S. Postal Service, which indicated sustainability is a core commitment in its 10-year plan, Delivering for America published in 2021.
