Since 2019, Deutsche Post's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Deutsche Post's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Deutsche Post's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Deutsche Post's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Deutsche Post reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Deutsche Post reported 32,190,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Deutsche Post includes a breakdown across 6 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Deutsche Post reported total Scope 3 emissions of 32,190,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Deutsche Post's Scope 3 emissionshave remained relatively stable, indicating that Deutsche Post's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Deutsche Post's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Deutsche Post's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, Deutsche Post reported emissions for 6 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Deutsche Post's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Deutsche Post reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 6,460,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 97,409 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 66.32 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Deutsche Post reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 66.32 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 26.99, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Deutsche Post ranked 16 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Deutsche Post is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Deutsche Post reported a total carbon footprint of 39,380,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 2.57% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Deutsche Post's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 81.74% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 16.4%.a
