Geopost has industry-leading net-zero targets validated by SBTi and three years of absolute emissions reductions, but remains hamstrung by weak nature disclosure, incomplete supply-chain carbon accounting, and a live greenwashing investigation by Poland's UOKiK regulator over unsubstantiated 'green fleet' claims. Fleet electrification at 15% means transport energy remains fossil-dependent.
