What we are doing
At Canada Post, we believe that everyone has a responsibility to the natural world. That’s why we’re not only committed to finding ways to protect the environment and minimizing our carbon footprint, but we’re also committed to providing greener options and earth-friendlier ideas for both consumers and businesses.
Buildings

A large portion of the Corporation’s CO2 emissions comes from its buildings. Reducing those emissions will not only benefit the environment and help reduce overall energy costs, but will also create a healthier work environment for employees. Since 2002, we have reduced emissions from Canada Post-owned buildings by eight percent.
Starting in 2008, our design process for all new buildings will use the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) framework of the Canada green-building rating system.
Fleet

We are focused on two key strategies to reduce fuel consumption and cut CO2 emissions in the near term. The first is to purchase vehicles suitable for our delivery operations that have smaller engines and are more fuel efficient. These vehicles are scheduled to replace our larger, less efficient, step vans between 2010 and 2015. The second strategy is to work with manufacturers and after-market outfitters to find viable alternative vehicles, including hybrid vehicles, that will meet our operational needs.
Commuting
