Building a End-to-end Carbon-Efficient Delivery Ecosystem
Leveraging its extensive postal network and infrastructure, SingPost looks to drive sustainability and encourage greener eCommerce in the industry. This is achieved through increasingly streamlining deliveries to POPStations and letterboxes, which are more convenient and secure, boosting its network of Pick Up and Drop Off (PUDO) points, innovating products such as its POPDrop, POPStops and Tracked Letter Box products for greener first mile, last mile and returns options, as well as introducing eco-friendly packaging made from recycled materials that are easily accessible island-wide at all post offices. Having converted more than 30% of its own delivery fleet in Singapore to electric vehicles as of March 2023, SingPost is also well on track to fulfill our commitment to fully electrifying its owned delivery fleet by 2026. SingPost has also explored opportunities to redesign its delivery network for better route optimisation to further reduce its fleet emissions.
