By adopting the status of mission-driven company in 2021 and giving itself a « raison d'être », La Poste intends to strengthen its role as a leader in ecological transformation and its positive impact on society. In addition to meeting the needs of its customers (businesses, local authorities and citizens), La Poste also wants to support them in their own ecological transition.
