Pending reviewMixed evidence· 14 src

Geopost has industry-leading net-zero targets validated by SBTi and three years of absolute emissions reductions, but remains hamstrung by weak nature disclosure, incomplete supply-chain carbon accounting, and a live greenwashing investigation by Poland's UOKiK regulator over unsubstantiated 'green fleet' claims. Fleet electrification at 15% means transport energy remains fossil-dependent.

DPD (Geopost) scores 41/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.

That places DPD (Geopost) joint 343rd of 847 companies scored, and 3rd of 17 in Shipping / Logistics.
