The GHG Reduction Programme • WHAT: tools, best practices, collection of data on postal sector carbon footprint, analysis and reports for participants • AIM: 10% reduction CO2 emissions over 5 years • WHO: 28 postal operators • HOW: voluntary commitement • SCOPE: transportand buildings Electric Vehicle Fleets

  9. The Green Fleet Forum OBJECTIVES A platform to initiate and facilitate mutual sharing of best practices, knowledge exchange for postal operators and opportunity to meet representatives of key stakeholders within the area of postal transportation. WHO Environment and operations experts of postal operatorstogether with representatives from the European Commission, research institutes, suppliers and manufacturers.
