What evidence is Groupe La Poste's score based on?
13 sources used in this assessment. All publicly available. Each row shows which of the ten questions it informed.
46% of them were published by Groupe La Poste itself; the rest come from independent sources.
La Poste's headline footprint (4.95 MtCO2e in 2025) leaves out the financed emissions of its bank, insurer and asset managers. The group reports those separately: 179.5 MtCO2e in 2025, of which CNP Assurances 124.1 Mt, La Banque Postale 11.4 Mt and asset management and private banking 44.1 Mt (climate transition plan, April 2026, page 28). Each entity uses its own method. They are the group's own figures, so they set the size deduction.
7 of 13 sources are independent of the company.
