For many years now, Åland Post has actively worked to reduce our environmental impact. A major challenge involves reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from transports and our large post terminal. Our objective is to be fossil-free by 2035.
We continuously upgrade our vehicles, replacing them with low-emission alternatives, and have successfully reduced energy consumption per square metre year on year at the post terminal.
In addition to a general environmental policy, we work specifically with a number of overall environmental goals within our operations. These can, in turn, be broken down into detailed environmental goals for each individual business area or unit.
