Asendia, the joint venture between La Poste and Swiss Post, reveals it is 100% carbon neutral as of 2022. The firm has focused on sustainability since its foundation in 2012 and has spent the last 3 years extending its sustainability strategy in response to growing concerns regarding the environmental impact of supply chain operations.
Asendia is leading the way proving how the sector can neutralise its environmental footprint.
In 2020, Asendia offset emissions on international transport within Europe and from Europe to other continents. The total offset was 50,990 tCO2e which supported an EcoAct verified wind farm project in India. In 2021, Asendia announced that it would now offset emissions on international transport worldwide.
As of 2022, not only will Asendia offset all international transport emissions, but it will also include first mile collection, last mile delivery, returns, building emissions, machinery, and business travel.
Offsetting from 2021 and 2022 will support another EcoAct verified wind farm project, this time in China where coal still covers nearly 70% of the country’s energy needs.
