Being a company with a mission : a voluntary commitment
La Poste has adopted mission-driven company status from 2021. The adoption of the quality of mission-driven company is part of a voluntary process open to all French companies since the PACTE law of 2019. A mission-driven company is committed to combining economic performance with a contribution to the general interest.
For La Poste, this means developing its activities within the framework of a model that has a positive impact on society, and providing proof of its social, societal and environmental commitment. Being a company with a mission is an integral part of La Poste Groupe’s strategic ambition to be a sustainable, profitable and responsible company.
“As a company with a mission, we are committed to greater transparency and rigorous management of our commitments.” – Philippe Wahl, Président-directeur général du groupe La Poste
La Poste keeps its commitments
For the past 4 years, the Mission Committee has published its annual report, this year entitled Questions d’engagements. It reports on the Mission Committee’s activities and presents the 2024 results for the 13 indicators used to measure La Poste’s progress in relation to its four societal commitments.
Conceived as a magazine, this publication enables readers to find out more about what constitutes a company with a mission, the difference between a company with a mission and a public service mission, and looks back at the group’s key achievements in 2024 that enabled it to reach its objectives and keep its commitments.
“In this 2024 report, the Mission Committee gives a positive assessment of La Poste’s achievements and compliance with its commitments.” – Natalie Rastoin, Chairwoman of the Mission Committee
The legal framework stipulates that an independent, accredited third-party organization (OTI) must monitor the social and environmental performance of mission-driven companies at least every two years. The OTI’s assessment for the 2024 financial year is positive : La Poste is meeting its commitments.
