At the Universal Postal Union's World Leaders Forum in October 2021, Annemarie Gardshol presented PostNord's sustainability agenda. She stated that the company's business strategy includes a commitment to fair conditions in the industry, workplace safety, inclusivity, and gender balance (aiming for 40/60). Gardshol also said that PostNord has taken a scientific approach to reducing its climate impact and that its targets are aligned with the Paris Agreement, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. She noted that in 2020, the company achieved a target of reducing carbon emissions by 40 percent compared to 2009. Gardshol outlined further ambitions, including aiming for a fossil-free business operation by 2030 and a zero-emission last mile by 2027. She discussed a specific initiative, "the packaging journey," aimed at reducing "air" in e-commerce parcels, which she estimated contributed to roughly one-third of carbon emissions in parcel transports. Gardshol also described PostNord's involvement in the "pathway coalition" and its partnership with the Nordic Swan ecolabel to develop criteria for more sustainable transport services, with criteria expected to be in place by 2022.
