For several years already, La Poste has been actively committed to making the energy and ecological transition a reality. Alongside its efforts to develop expertise and encourage new forms of use, La Poste is launching a programme called “Energies Communes”. The aim is to raise awareness, encourage further study and – above all – to showcase and share practical, innovative solutions to promote an energy and ecological transition driven by local initiatives.
La Poste sees the energy and ecological transition as a social project that must not remain abstract, distant or overly technical. On the contrary, it must become part of everyday reality, widely understood and taken on board by as many people as possible. In this way, it will naturally become an essential force for progress bringing benefits for everybody.
This transition embraces all aspects of everyday reality, both individual and collective: work, housing, mobility, energy, food, development, and so on. For this reason, it must be supported by everybody (individuals, companies, regional authorities, etc.) as part of an approach that is both fair and inclusive. It is essential for society to adopt a new model, and the involvement of the greatest number is key to achieving this. Today, we should all have the ambition, the opportunity – and the instinctive urge – to make a real contribution to the ecological transition, in our own way and without making sacrifices.
