For Poste Italiane, environmental protection is a non-negotiable aspect when creating sustainable value. With this perspective, the Group follows this commitment in the communities in which it works, as governed in the Group’s Code of Ethics, through knowledgeable use of resources and innovative solutions that allow it to minimise negative environmental impacts.
The Company’s objective is to spread an environmental protection culture, whilst systematically drawing up sectoral action plans regarding the efficient management of energy resources, water resources and waste, from a circular economy perspective, in order to reduce its ecological footprint.
