Strong growth in ethics and responsible purchasing
Chronopost's ethical rating has risen from 60 to 70 points in the space of a year, thanks to the introduction of a new anti-bribery alert system.
Chronopost has also seen a similar increase in responsible purchasing, with the introduction of a charter to address this issue in 2023.
Performance in reducing carbon emissions
Chronopost has retained its environmental score of 100/100, achieved in 2022 and unchanged since then. This rating reflects Chronopost's investment over several years in transforming its fleet, which now includes 20% low-emission vehicles. To date, Chronopost has made last-mile deliveries to almost 70 towns and cities using more than 1,400 electric vehicles and cargo bicycles. For long-distance deliveries, more than 270 biofuel-powered HGVs criss-cross France.
These advances are fully in line with the approach of Geopost, Chronopost's parent company, which is aiming for net zero emissions by 2040, as approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in February 2023.
“We are very proud to receive the EcoVadis Platinum certification. With 5,000 employees, around 10,000 partner drivers, 2,000 suppliers and almost a million parcels delivered to as many recipients every day, the Chronopost ecosystem is very extensive. Hence our ongoing efforts to maintain or improve all our CSR indicators.”
Benoît Frette, Chairman of Chronopost, stated.
