Measures for sustainability

We embrace diversity

As an employer, we take responsibility for our employees by embedding a culture of equality and diversity within the company. For us, embracing diversity is a key success factor in successfully shaping the future.

We are creating awareness of sustainability

For the transformation to a sustainable PostFinance to succeed, every single employee must become part of our sustainability development. This is why we are raising awareness of sustainability issues among our employees and providing them with further training on this topic.

We will become net zero

In line with Swiss Post’s ambitious climate and energy targets, we are working towards internal climate neutrality by 2030 and net zero by 2040. To achieve this, we must reduce our direct and indirect emissions. Due to our activities on the global capital market, financed emissions in particular play an important role in reducing indirect emissions.

We provide transparent information

We want to enable our customers to make informed decisions about our products and services. To help them do so, we focus on a transparent and responsible information policy and product development process.

We promote financial literacy – including in terms of sustainability

With our educational and awareness-raising measures, we aim to promote financial literacy among the Swiss general public and provide the people of this country with a knowledge of sustainability in the financial system.

The use and development of digital and innovative technologies play a vital role in making PostFinance’s business model fit for the future. With innovative business models, we can help to overcome social challenges and improve people’s quality of life.

We are committed to digitization

Through our use of digital technologies, we can react in good time to fast-moving developments in the financial sector. We use data-driven solutions and artificial intelligence to improve the company’s success and secure our competitiveness.

We are creating solutions for the future

Innovation is also essential to enable modern banking. That is why we have a Group-wide, cross-unit innovation framework in place to address relevant future topics, guaranteeing not only our day-to-day business but also our future viability. The VNTR – Innovation and Venturing by PostFinance – specialist unit ensures that PostFinance does not miss out on any relevant future themes and that it shapes social and sustainable developments.

CO2 calculator

One innovation that has already been implemented in this context is our CO₂ calculator, which allows our customers to view and monitor the personal carbon footprint produced by their consumption.
