A greener, more sustainable Canada Post
Climate action targets
Canada Post is committed to taking action on climate change. We have set ambitious emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. Our targets include:
- Reducing operational emissions by 50% by 2030 and reaching net-zero emissions across our value chain by 2050
- Obtaining 90% of electricity from non-emitting sources by 2030
- Electrifying 100% of our last-mile fleet by 2040
- Ensuring that a minimum of 67% of suppliers, by spend, adopt a science-based target or equivalent by December 31, 2025

Case study: Albert Jackson Processing Centre
In 2023, Canada Post opened the Albert Jackson Processing Centre, our first net-zero carbon building and the largest industrial project to meet the Canada Green Building Council’s Zero Carbon Building design standard. Bolstering Canada’s largest delivery network, the centre is our largest, fastest and greenest sorting facility and features innovative sustainability elements such as:
- Rooftop solar panels that generate clean, renewable energy on site
- An efficient HVAC system and sensor-controlled lighting based on occupancy and daylight
- Ten electric vehicle charging stations for employees
- Infrastructure to support the future electrification of Canada Post’s five-ton fleet
