Achieving more in collaboration

Swiss Post enters into partnerships

Worldwide, Swiss Post has links with organizations committed to environmental, climate, economic or social sustainability.

Swiss Post participates in initiatives and works together with not-for-profit organizations, foundations and associations. Our most important partnerships include:

WWF Climate Group

As a member of the WWF Climate Group, Swiss Post has pledged to make a substantial contribution to climate protection and reduce its CO₂emissions.

Postal-sector climate protection initiatives

We participate in the initiatives of PostEurop and International Post Corporation (IPC). Together, we set international standards for the sector and cut the CO₂ emissions attributable to postal services. By 2020, the international postal sector wishes to reduce its CO₂ emissions by at least 20 percent compared with 2008 levels.

Union Internationale des Transports Publics (UITP) Charter on Sustainable Development

PostBus has signed the UITP Charter on Sustainable Development, which has the following aims: to reduce environmental impacts and CO₂ emissions; to achieve social justice; and to promote economically sustainable transport systems.

"inergie" association

Swiss Post is a member of "inergie". This association develops and tests forward-looking solutions for the sustainable use and generation of energy.

Universal Postal Union

We support postal organizations in developing countries, either directly or in close cooperation with the Universal Postal Union.

Pro Patria and Pro Juventute

We support these two foundations in the design and sale of their stamps. Pro Patria uses the surcharges levied mainly for cultural projects. Pro Juventute works to meet the needs and protect the rights of children and young people in Switzerland.

2 x Christmas initiative

2 x Christmas is a charitable campaign conducted jointly by the Swiss Red Cross, SRG SSR and Swiss Post.

Swiss Post's staff restaurants serve only fair trade coffee and carry other Max Havelaar products. Fair trade benefits small coffee farmers in Africa and Latin America.
