Sustainability is an integral part of Geopost's commitment and identity through its DrivingChangeTM CSR program. Since 2012, Geopost's deliveries have been carbon neutral by measuring the carbon footprint per parcel, reducing it to the greatest extent possible, and offsetting the remaining emissions, with a goal of reducing its CO₂ emissions per parcel by 30% by 2025 (vs. 2013).
Geopost acts proactively to make its contribution to improving air quality in cities. This is why, in late 2019, Geopost has been deploying an air quality monitoring programme in partnership with local communities. Through sensors installed on its delivery fleet as well as in urban depots and pickup points, air pollution levels (such as fine particles PM2.5) are measured in real time.

This programme is currently deployed in 15 European cities, including Lisbon, Paris and Madrid and more recently Prague, Bologna, Dublin and Warsaw. 1,151 mobile sensors and 175 fixed sensors have been deployed to date. Geopost intends to extend this data collection programme, to reach more than 20 European cities in 2022.
Geopost also aims to become the leading player in sustainable delivery. In October 2020, Geopost launched a plan to deliver low (or even zero) carbon last-mile delivery in Europe's 225 largest cities, representing 80 million Europeans, by 2025. Given the faster than expected deployment of these solutions, Geopost announced in 2022 that it would raise its ambition and increase the number of European cities covered to 350 by 2025. By then, the company will have deployed more than 15,000 alternative vehicles, 6,700 charging points, and 250 urban depots.
