Our Sustainability Strategy

We believe that in order to grow as a company, we must listen to the needs of our customers, employees, and business partners.

We want to use the potential of technology to shape a new, more sustainable reality together.

We want our creativity and innovation to power the lifestyle of the future, change cities, counteract climate change, and drive people and businesses.

For years, we have been taking key actions on many important social and environmental issues. We support the professional activity of women and the achievements of athletes. We implement solutions reducing CO2 emissions and improve the efficiency of logistics. We have created a comprehensive Sustainable Development Strategy to provide a framework for our activities and to set clear goals for the future. These are not only the structural programs and initiatives that we intend to implement, but also the development of our corporate governance concept, which will shape our relations with external and internal stakeholders.

Pillars of InPost Group's ESG Strategy

The ESG strategy of the InPost Group is embedded to our business strategy and, at the same time, a contribution to the implementation of the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda.

This strategy is based on three pillars that are crucial for us, both from the perspective of our operations and the actual impact on the environment and society. We have always been focused on our customers and we know that the strength of our growth lies in our employees and business partners. Thus, customers, the planet, and our partners are the basis of our strategy, while the commitments made within it respond to the challenges and needs that are key for each of these stakeholder groups. Most importantly, all commitments come together to ensure stable and sustainable growth.

The comprehensiveness of our ESG strategy makes it a key tool to strengthen the integration of the InPost Group in all markets in which it operates.

If we want to change our world, we must first change people. Provide them with knowledge, competence, faith in their skills, and the energy to share their experience with others. This applies to us, as well as to our business partners. We want to create and grow with them. We want to look for innovations and ideas together and exchange knowledge. Diversity is a power of change, while technology allows us all to be closer and work better.

We create development and collaboration programs for employees and business partners, including couriers, to strengthen their connection and, in doing so, respond to labor market challenges. Our goal is to increase the satisfaction of our employees and business partners, as their skills and commitment directly contribute to the InPost Group's position.

Goals by 2026:
  1. Employee involvement not lower than 50% (according to Kincentric methodology)
  2. We will employ 1,000 employees and couriers as a result of the implementation of programs of equalizing opportunities on the labor market
  3. We create a workplace that thrives on diversity. Strong support for gender equality is a foundation for our growth (30% of the Management Board and N-1 of the InPost Group are women by 2026)

As we want to contribute to the ongoing global transformation towards a sustainable and equal future for all, our strategy relates to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
