Chief Executive Officers of leading postal operators celebrate ten years of successful postal sustainability collaboration
|
Marking the 10th anniversary of the launch of IPC’s Environmental Measurement and Monitoring System (EMMS) programme, postal chief executives gathered in Bonn, Germany at the IPC 2019 Annual Conference to celebrate progress so far and look at challenges for the next ten years.
|
The IPC EMMS programme was one of the first sector-wide initiatives aimed at systematically reducing carbon emissions. With the Carbon Management Proficiency target reached in 2018, the programme has successfully reached the targets set in 2008. The EMMS group has achieved so far:
- A 30%-reduction in carbon emissions (2008 baseline) - 91% in Carbon Management Proficiency, compared to 56% in 2008 - Collective savings of €1,735m through fuel and electricity savings Holger Winklbauer, CEO of IPC said: “The postal sector was one of the first to launch a collective initiative aimed at increasing their carbon management proficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Collaboration is a key facet of the programme and through knowledge transfer and best practice sharing, the sector has been one of the most proactive in reducing its carbon footprint”.

Celebrating ten years of success for EMMS
|
|
Ten years ago, postal operators were among the first to launch a sector-wide programme to measure and reduce carbon emissions through IPC’s Environmental Measurement and Monitoring System (EMMS).
|
Ten years later, the participating posts reached the targets set in 2009: to reduce combined carbon emissions from own operations by 20% and to achieve a score of at least 90% in carbon management proficiency (CMP). To celebrate this success, IPC released a publication showing the results of the EMMS programme.

Deutsche Post DHL Group grows revenue and earnings in Q1 2019
|
Deutsche Post DHL Group increased both revenue and operating profit in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the prior-year period. The company generated revenue of EUR 15.4 billion between January and March, an increase of 4.1% to the previous year.
|
Operating profit (EBIT) was up 28.1% to EUR 1.2 billion. In particular, the earnings contributions from the DHL divisions were again encouraging - while the surge in earnings was driven by non-recurring income from completing the Supply Chain partnership with S.F. Holding in China initiated at the end of 2018. Previously announced restructuring costs at Supply Chain and in the new eCommerce Solutions division slowed EBIT growth.
"The first quarter played out as we expected. We achieved growth in all five divisions. This shows that we are very well positioned in attractive markets and that our fundamental growth drivers are intact. E-commerce continues to boom all over the world and although some momentum has been lost, global trade is still on the rise, just as we expected for 2019. We are therefore on track towards our target of generating more than EUR 5 billion in EBIT in the coming year," says Frank Appel, CEO of Deutsche Post DHL Group.
