2023 Sustainability Report

As the needs of Canadians change, Canada Post has an important responsibility to be there for them. We understand the role that the postal service should play in helping to build a stronger Canada – one that’s more sustainable, equitable and inclusive. This responsibility to Canadians, to meet their needs and expectations, has continued to drive action across the organization.
