The newspaper Blick was the first to report on the postponement of the climate targets. The interim target for CO\u2082 reduction by 2030 is to remain unchanged, the company added in response to an enquiry.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to capturing and storing CO2 emissions from its own operations, Swiss Post intends to allow itself more time: the target is now to be achieved by 2040. There have also been some changes within the value chain. This is because the market for CO\u2082 capture and storage is developing more slowly than Swiss Post had originally anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>+ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swissinfo.ch\/eng\/climate-adaptation\/switzerlands-emissions-gap-is-larger-than-officially-stated\/91559331\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Switzerland\u2019s emissions gap is larger than officially stated<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Within the limits of its business capabilities, the company is working with its partners towards achieving a net-zero balance by 2050 at the latest. The greatest challenges lie in areas where Swiss Post cannot make decisions alone \u2013 such as procurement.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to climate targets, the focus is being strengthened in areas where a direct impact can be achieved. The company intends to remain on track in the areas of e-mobility, renewable energy, energy-efficient buildings and CO\u2082 reduction in transport.<\/p>\n<p>+\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swissinfo.ch\/eng\/about-us\/how-swissinfo-produces-news-in-english\/91695684\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">How we produce English news<\/a><br \/>Translated from German, reviewed by an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swissinfo.ch\/eng\/department\/english-department\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">English Department<\/a>\u00a0journalist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Swiss Post is postponing some of its climate targets Keystone-SDA Swiss Post remains committed to its net-zero target&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[101,455,114,457,100,103,102,41,17],"class_list":["post-111161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-switzerland","tag-article","tag-beat-emissions-reduction","tag-business","tag-environment","tag-latest-news","tag-production-type-deepl-autotranslation","tag-sda-ready-to-publish","tag-swiss","tag-switzerland"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/117031624045001382","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
