Our Sustainability Strategy
We want to amaze people by using the potential of technology for the benefit of the planet.
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 do not start from scratch: we have the most sustainable business model, which is appreciated by both our customers and business partners. 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.
What are we doing?
We redefine the e-commerce industry.
We are an essential element in the value chains of key brands. Thanks to our attractive offer addressed to customers and business partners, we contribute to the creation of a new market, as well as guarantee a greater variety of products, convenience, and time savings.
The innovation of the InPost Group is to support the green transformation.
We understand our role in the face of the climate crisis. The carbon footprint of each parcel delivered to one of our Parcel Lockers is up to 75% lower than that of a parcel delivered traditionally to a home address. We do not stop there. We were one of the first companies on the Polish market to join the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We intend to achieve full climate neutrality by 2040 and within 5 years we will fully close the cycle of raw materials in our own operations.
We define customer experience on the so-called final mile.
We already have 16,000 parcel lockers in Poland, 3,000 in the UK and the first 300 in France. We exert influence on a huge scale and thus have a comensurate potential for good. We want innovation to become a distinctive feature of the InPost Group in all markets in which we operate. We are aware that when it comes to combating climate change, a lot depends on the involvement of customers and building appropriate habits, which is why we want to educate and inspire customers and our business partners.

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. 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.

People are at the heart of our business. It is for them that we want to become better every day.
We leverage the potential of technology to give everyone the opportunity to enter a sustainable future today. At the reach of your hand. For everyone. We create new solutions and transform the reality that surrounds us, because we believe that technology will allow us to become increasingly effective and make our clients' lives simpler and more comfortable.
We inspire others with our vision. We gather people similar to us, with vision, passion, and commitment, looking for new challenges. Together, we break down barriers and strengthen local communities to build new cities together.
Goals by 2026:
- Introduction of a minimum of two solutions per year to support sustainable consumer practices

The amazing thing about technology is its ability to constantly improve. Its continuous improvement and optimization allow for setting ambitious goals even in such a complex area as stopping climate change and adapting to the climate.
Technology allows us to minimize, or even reduce, and at the same time to transform and give new meanings. We use these opposing forces to face the challenge of decarbonising and closing the raw materials cycle. Wherever we are, we change our reality to ensure that our presence is climate neutral. We redefine the meaning of products and materials - we give them a second life. This way, we not only protect the planet, but also care for our common quality of life.
In the strategy, we emphasize our desire to develop the company without having a negative impact on the environment:
- as part of the InPost Green City program, which is present in 21 cities, we take initiatives to minimize our impact on the environment (e.g. we install air quality sensors, successively transition to an electric vehicle fleet);
- thanks to the Parcel Locker delivery business model, our growth contributes to the reduction of the carbon footprint compared to traditional courier deliveries by up to 75%
- our ambition is to achieve full climate neutrality in all markets in which we operate.
Goals by 2026:
- Climate neutrality by 2025 (Scope 1 and 2) and total neutrality by 2040 (Scope 1, 2, and 3)
- We declare to be NET ZERO until 2040 in scopes 1,2 and 3 in accordance with SBTi
- By 2024, 100% of packaging in in-house operations will be made from recyclable materials

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.
Every day we draw upon openness and readiness to take up new challenges and cross borders. We develop as people and as companies. Together we amaze the world.
We set the goal of transforming the scale of our impact and the multiplicity of relationships with employees and business partners into the main driving force of our business:
- we plan to create development and cooperation programs for employees and business partners, including couriers, so as to strengthen our bonds and respond to the challenges of the labour market;
- our goal is to increase the satisfaction of our employees and business partners, because their skills and commitment translate directly into the position of the InPost Group.
Goals by 2026:
- Employee involvement not lower than 50% (according to Kincentric methodology)
- We will employ 1,000 employees and couriers as a result of the implementation of programs of equalizing opportunities on the labor market
- 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)
UN Sustainable Development Goals
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).
These goals are an urgent call to action for all countries - developed and developing - to stand together to fight for a better future in a global partnership.
As part of the strategy, we have identified areas in which we can have a real impact and use our strengths and experience to create solutions and build programs supporting, among others, combating climate change, gender equality, improving the quality of life in cities, or combating the geographical exclusion of rural areas.
