Energy consumption
We saw a 46TJ decrease in the total energy consumption in 2023 compared to 2022. The reduction in energy consumption results from several energy-saving initiatives. Additionally, business developments have contributed to this positive trend. See the paragraphs energy efficiency of buildings and energy efficiency of fleet for more details.
The figures above cover the energy consumption of our own operations. Due to the lack of reliable activity data from PostNL's partners in the value chain, we are currently unable to report the energy consumption of our outsourced activities.
