🎄 Festive traditions across Europe At Geopost, we enjoy highlighting the unique holiday customs that make each country where we are present special. In the Netherlands, Sinterklaas arrives by boat in late November. Slovakia’s families place carp scales under the tablecloth for prosperity. Germany’s St Nicholas Day on 6 December brings treats or twigs from Knecht Ruprecht for the naughty. In the Czech Republic, single women toss shoes over their shoulders to see if marriage is on the horizon. Italy’s Epiphany on 6 January features La Befana, who delivers sweets or coal. In Spain, families eat 12 grapes at midnight for luck. What festive traditions do you celebrate?

The importance of giving 🌍 At Geopost, giving back to local communities and those in need is a key part of our commitment to corporate social responsibility, not only during the festive season but throughout the year. Our efforts span various initiatives, from supporting local charities to engaging in community projects. Business units such as DPD Czech Republic are making their own individual contributions with initiatives such as harvesting honey from beehives at their Modletice depot. Elsewhere in Europe, DPD Nederland delivered over 5,000 parcels to seriously ill and underprivileged children and DPD UK has now funded 73 Variety coaches for schools with additional support needs. DPD Ireland has jointly funded the country’s first accessible centre for water sports, enabling people with physical and intellectual disabilities the opportunity to fully enjoy angling, power boating, sailing and more for the first time. 68 CitySprint colleagues also supported the Make-A-Wish® UK Foundation by sharing a 1,665-mile cargo bike ride that called at each of the company’s UK sites, raising over £50,000 to help grant life-changing wishes for critically ill children. SEUR and Boluda Lines partnered with Hummel to deliver 9,658 sports garments to children at a football academy in Senegal. DPD France supported the RoseUp Association, a charity for women affected by cancer, by collecting and delivering 2,886 parcels of the charity’s magazine to hospitals and oncology centres nationwide. Additionally, 15 employees participated in a running event, raising €3,000 for RoseUp. Here are a few examples of the community initiatives Geopost and its business units engage in, demonstrating our commitment to social responsibility.

Live from POLITICO Europe in Brussels As a highlight of today’s events, our CEO Yves Delmas took part in a strategically interesting panel on keeping the EU’s transport emissions targets alive and on track. Yves started out with reminding a full house that at Geopost we are a leading player in the logistics industry and are committed to driving sustainable change. He went on to share our ambition to achieve net zero by 2040 and that the trajectory to this end has been certified by the Science Based Targets initiative. Yves emphasised we’re moving forward with concrete actions: we've pledged to reduce our overall emissions by 43% by 2030 and to electrify 85% of our fleet within the same timeframe. Our CEO equally continued on to urge policymakers to provide visibility on future regulations and to invest heavily in charging infrastructure. This infrastructure is essential to aid not only large companies such as Geopost but also SME’s, our daily partners, across the globe who often lack support in transitioning to alternative fleet. Yves wrapped it up saying we invest annually in decarbonisation initiatives, viewing it as a strategic action rather than an added cost. By working together where each player upholds his role and responsibilities, we can ensure that the EU's climate targets remain within reach.
