The leading global sustainability rating provider for companies, EcoVadis, has once again ranked Posti’s sustainability on the highest possible level, Platinum. Among all ranked companies, Posti is among the best one percent globally.

Posti got 80 points out of 100 on the latest assessment, whereas a year ago, the result was 82. The year before Posti got 77 points. The points for e.g. environmental sustainability (90/100) were the same as last year.

EcoVadis assessed four themes of Posti’s sustainability: environment, labor & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The assessment criteria are based on international corporate social responsibility criteria, such as the principles of GRI, the UN Global Compact and ILO, and the ISO 26000 standard. An international scientific committee oversees the assessment. 

The way Ecovadis evaluates a company's sustainability includes all parts of our sustainability program: the environment, people, and the foundation, including sustainable sourcing. That’s why it’s a good and objective way to review the progress of our sustainability program. 

Sustainability is key to Posti’s strategy, values, and purpose: responsibly delivering what matters to you – on your terms. To continue to transport things sustainably also in the future, Posti needs to operate without emissions and ensure that people are feeling well. That is why the two cornerstones of Posti’s sustainability program are the environment and the people. You can read more on the goals and results on our sustainability report. 

In addition to numeral evaluation, Ecovadis supports companies' sustainability work by providing a view on what areas are performing well and where to improve. You can read more about Ecovadis and its methods here.
