Nordic Swan Ecolabel for e-commerce logistics
PostNord offers deliveries with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel for e-commerce logistics. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel makes it easy for consumers to choose a more sustainable delivery option for goods purchased online.
The terms that are used are broad, and the meaning is difficult to understand.
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel makes it easy for consumers to choose a delivery option that meets stringent requirements regarding climate performance and high energy efficiency.
Our delivery options with Nordic Swan Ecolabel can easily be recognized in e-commerce checkouts and in the PostNord app.
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel has been influencing various industries for over 30 years. In that time, it has defined criteria for a wide range of goods and services – from batteries and washing liquids to hotels, houses and funds.
And now also e-commerce logistics. The ecolabel applies to the transport of goods purchased online from businesses to consumers (B2C).
By being the first logistics company to be awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel for e-commerce logistics, we are paving the way for other operators. This is something we at PostNord are extremely proud of, as we want to lead the entire industry toward a more sustainable future.
The criteria cover all facets of PostNord’s e-commerce deliveries. Climate, environment, and social conditions. The criteria are also fully in line with our own sustainability agenda.
One Nordic Swan Ecolabel requirement is that the proportion of renewable energy in total fuel must be at least 60 percent. We currently already achieve 72 percent and are aiming even higher. Another requirement is that at least 10 percent of new heavy vehicles must run on electricity or biogas. We buy solely new electric and biogas vehicles. More information about all the criteria is available on the Nordic Swan Ecolabel website (page in Swedish).
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel for e-commerce logistics was launched in April 2023. PostNord, together with other logistics and e-commerce operators, actively contributed to defining the Nordic Swan Ecolabel criteria

We at PostNord are working to reduce our own climate footprint, as well as those of our suppliers and, by extension, our customers.
We can influence how parcels are transported – and in some cases, how they are packed as well.
