Our contribution to climate protection
Since 2015, we have taken responsibility for the CO₂ emissions of our consignments – by default and at no extra charge for our customers. For all emissions generated by transporting and delivering items from our depots to the recipients, we make a climate protection contribution to effective climate projects.
Through our climate protection partner myclimate, we are currently supporting a project in Uganda for the reforestation and sustainable management of forests.
This project will store CO₂, preserve biodiversity and improve community livelihoods. In the Albertine-Graben and Mount Elgon regions, the project protects particularly valuable community forests, secures water sources, creates wildlife corridors for endangered species such as eastern chimpanzees and builds resilience to climate change through agroforestry.
We support this climate protection project because …
...as a private postal service provider we believe not only in the future of letterboxes, but also in the medium of paper. Every printed and delivered advertising consignment strengthens Switzerland and creates jobs here - most of the money spent on online advertising goes abroad.
Nevertheless, it is obvious that paper and the protection of the ecosystems that produce this raw material are particularly close to our hearts. That is why we consciously chose a forest protection or reforestation project when selecting a climate protection project. We support this project in particular because, in addition to protecting the environment, it also makes an important contribution to achieving various social and integrative goals.
Overall, the project contributes to eleven Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We would like to highlight the following sustainability goals of the project in particular. You can find out which other SDGs the project contributes to directly in the project description of our partner myclimate.
More than USD 8.8 million has been paid to 51,874 smallholder farmers and their families.
The protection of the forest contributes to the safeguarding of clean water sources.
Reforestation of 24,817 hectares of forest (equivalent to 34,000 football pitches).
