As we intensify our efforts to enhance the energy efficiency of Bnode buildings, we are witnessing a clear and positive trend. We have successfully reduced electricity consumption and decreased our dependence on natural gas, district heating, and fuel oil, underscoring our commitment to adopting greener energy solutions. These initiatives have resulted in a significant reduction in energy consumption per employee, demonstrating that we are using our energy resources more efficiently across all operations.
100% Green Electricity Across Europe
For the Bnode entities located in Belgium, Netherlands and France, we have green electricity contracts for our buildings and electrical delivery vehicles. As a result, a majority of our electricity consumption is green, and for the remainder, we purchase "Guarantee of Origin" certificates. In the future, we plan to expand this strategy to other countries where Bnode operates, with the goal of achieving 100% green electricity by 2030.
Solar Panel Strategy at Bpost
Aligned with the solar panel strategy to deploy solar panels on all our mail centres in Belgium, we have currently 73,500 m² of solar panels in Belgium and 90,000 m2 ( +14,000 m2 vs 2024) for the entire group that generate the energy needed for our largest production sites which is enough to power around 4,000 households annually. Moreover, we already use 100% renewable electricity in Europe and Canada. But we know that it can be even better. That's why by 2029, we'll be installing another 86,500 m² of solar panels in Belgium, equivalent to about 14 football pitches.
Smart Energy at Bpost NV/SA: Energy Management System
Bpost is undergoing a profound energy transformation: (full) fleet electrification, large-scale deployment of solar assets, volatile energy markets, and increasing ESG and compliance obligations. To meet these challenges, Bpost is building a digital energy backbone: an energy management system that delivers real-time, site-level insights across all facilities. The EMS (Energy Management System) prepares Bpost for tomorrow: enabling smarter investment, reliable reporting, and long-term cost control.
