Each and every company has a commitment towards its stakeholders and society. Austrian Post is well aware of this responsibility and strives to adequately meet the interests of all players involved in the course of its business activities. For guidance, the entire Austrian Post corporation relies on the principles of the UN Global Compact. Its fundamental values revolve around four pillars.

A commitment towards the economy
In order for a company to meet its responsibility towards society in the long term and to make an adequate contribution towards the fulfillment of social needs, it needs to grow. Therefore, the main priority of the management at Austrian Post is to ensure long-term profit. As part of this goal, Austrian Post strives for continuous optimization to assure the company's competitiveness. It is especially our international strategy of growth that is planned to ensure our corporate success in the long term.

A commitment towards society
Austrian Post has more than 23,000 employees and is thus one of the largest employers in Austria. In order to be able to maintain these jobs in the future, we need to ensure that our competitiveness remains high. To optimize our processes, the number of jobs is periodically adapted to our needs. When doing so, we respect social aspects while making maximum use of the normal turnover rate. Austrian Post also actively supports the professional advancement of women and provides part-time working options.

A commitment towards employees
Workplace safety and health as well as corporate preventive health measures are key elements of Austrian Post's corporate philosophy. Our trusted logistics concept that ensures daily delivery to our clients relies on highly motivated and efficient employees. To achieve this, a healthy and safe working environment is an essential prerequisite.  

A commitment towards the environment
Austrian Post also strongly supports the efficient management of resources. We therefore participate in numerous projects such as the "Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programme" by PostEurop, which focuses on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

 A commitment to a healthy environment through the collection of used batteries Austrian Post is aware of its responsibility regarding the environment. At every postal branch, used batteries and storage batteries are collected free of charge.

A commitment to a healthy environment through recycling
All packaging material used at Austrian Post is included in the collection and recycling system Altstoff Recyling Austria AG through our preliminary suppliers.
