What matters to us
Corporate and culture #makingthingshappen
Our actions revolve around our values joy, purpose, and performance and guide our everyday interactions and collaboration.
Learn more about our values here:
Our joy is colourful. Joy is reflected in enthusiasm for work and having fun with colleagues, even when things get stressful. Our work environment is characterised by diversity, openness, appreciation, and humour. Our executives promote joy through proactive feedback and praise.
Our purpose is green. We find purpose through our important contribution to the country, the people, and the environment. We are united by our focus on diversity and sustainability. We recognise the purpose of our work because our leaders clearly explain the "why and how." We are all open to lifelong learning.
Our performance is yellow. Together, we achieve great performance and sustainable results. To us, this means tackling our tasks in a spirit of motivation. With their dedication and empathy, our executives create a working environment that allows us to reach our goals. We all want to be part of our joint success and evolve professionally and personally.
We are yellow. We are green. We are colourful.

Team and spirit #makingthingshappen
Welcome to the new normal at Austrian Post! We have combined the best of both worlds: remote work and office presence.
In addition to team days to foster social interaction, our appreciation-driven feedback culture includes annual and occasion-based performance reviews as well as the opportunity for 360-degree feedback. We equip employees and executives with the necessary tools to successfully conduct these conversations.
Diversity and opportunities #makingthingshappen
Our employees are our success. Around 20,000 people from 103 nations work together in 240 different professions.
Balancing daily work with caregiving, nursing, and other private commitments is a challenge. This is why we focus on flexibility.
In many areas of work, employees have the opportunity to work flexible hours, part-time, and increasingly from home.
Options range from active parental leave management, parent-child office, and holiday childcare to parental leave buddies and nationwide parental leave breakfasts.
We are getting closer to our goal: by 2030, the share of women in leadership positions should rise to at least 40%. Currently, the percentage of women is over 35%.
Climate and protection #makingthingshappen
Climate action and protection are pioneering efforts for us. Austrian Post was the first postal company to guarantee CO2-neutral delivery to its customers. Graz became the first state capital to offer CO2-neutral delivery in 2022. Salzburg and Innsbruck followed in autumn 2024, and Vienna is set to follow by 2025. We already operate the largest electric fleet in the country with around 2,500 electric vehicles.
And that's not all – Austrian Post is also one of the largest operators of photovoltaic systems in the country.
With our new product, Post Loop, online shops can send their products in reusable packaging. This packaging can successfully complete up to 30 shipping cycles. Post Loop boxes and bags come in various sizes and are made from wood pulp and recycled PET. This is how we operate sustainably.
Conduct and ethics #makingthingshappen
People are at the heart of everything we do. We are equally committed to the interests of our customers, employees, and society. We always deliver a solution.
Our values bridge the gap from tradition to modern, visionary, and future-proof principles because: we are yellow, we are green, and we are colourful. Lived values are a crucial factor for economic success and an intact leadership and corporate culture.
Our Code of Conduct and Ethics reflects our values and applies to all employees in the group – from the board of directors and executives to all staff members across all corporate and business areas of Austrian Post group.
