Decarbonisation Specialist

**Help us deliver like never before**
Australia Post is delivering like never before. From the vehicles that we drive, to the small businesses that make our communities thrive. We're delivering for the environment, for our communities, for our customers and for our people. We're moving forward and we want you to come along for the ride.

Our sustainability team sits within our Community, Sustainability & Stakeholder Engagement division and drives us forward to deliver on our sustainability roadmap.

**Our sustainability Journey**

As one of Australia's biggest and most trusted businesses, Australia Post has a responsibility and opportunity to create a more sustainable future that benefits all Australians. Our 2025 Sustainability Roadmap outlines what we will do to deliver on that future. One that sees us meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.

Our Sustainability Roadmap is underpinned by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, interconnects with our Post26 enterprise strategy, and is built around six key initiatives. Our Ethics, TIES values and Our AP Way describe the culture we need to deliver on those initiatives and will ensure we address what our people, customers and communities have told us they want and expect from Australia Post.

This includes an ambitious and inspiring program of decarbonisation that will help Australia Post deliver for our planet. We have already invested in Australia's largest electric delivery fleet, installed over 23,000 solar panels and energy efficient lights and diverted 85,000kg of e-waste from landfill.

By further investments in our renewable energy and electric fleet, reducing waste and expanding our sustainable packaging range. We are seeking to reach a target of Net Zero as a business by 2025. Not only helping us reduce our emissions but also helping our customers deliver on their Scope 3 emissions targets.
