Post Office: Carbon Emissions: Sustainable Development

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 26 January 2026UIN 107157

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what the cost to Post Office Limited was in 2024–25 of Net Zero, sustainability and decarbonisation initiatives; and how much of that cost was met through direct government support.

Answered by Blair McDougall

Post Office Limited laid its FY 2024-25 Annual Report and Accounts in Parliament in December 2025. The Annual Report details the company’s policy on net zero, and is available here: post-office-limited_2025-ara-signed.pdf

The Department does not directly fund Post Office’s net zero initiatives.
