MaltaPost p.l.c. has scored a major win, bringing home two Gold Awards at the prestigious Malta Business Awards 2024!
The company is thrilled to have been recognised for both the Best Logistics Solution and the Green Transport Initiative awards, scooping up top honours at the Malta Business Awards ceremony held on 15th November, 2024, at the Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta.
As Malta’s leading postal service, MaltaPost is not just delivering parcels – it is delivering change. With its innovative ‘One Delivery Project’, the Company has transformed how letters and parcels are delivered across Malta and Gozo. By merging operational efficiency with sustainability, the company re-imagined the last-mile delivery experience. Thanks to electric micro-logistics vehicles, optimised delivery routes and strategically placed parcel lockers, MaltaPost eliminated the need for separate deliveries and doubled down on reducing their carbon footprint.
MaltaPost’s eco-friendly transformation is truly making waves. Before the introduction of the ‘One Delivery’ concept, MaltaPost were running multiple vehicles to handle mail and parcels separately. Now, a single delivery stream, powered by electric vehicles is helping them get the job done – all while cutting down on traffic, emissions and environmental impact.
“The introduction of our 4-wheeled electric Paxster cargo vehicles has been a game-changer. We’re now operating these vehicles in 51 towns and villages across Malta and Gozo, cutting out the need for 90 fuel running vehicles on our roads thus reducing over 200 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. We’re meeting our environmental goals and proving that sustainability and efficiency can thrive together,” Joe Gafa, CEO, said.
MaltaPost is also proud to announce the arrival of the 150th electric Paxster, taking the total fleet of such vehicles to 158 – a true testament to the Company’s commitment to a greener future. And MaltaPost is not stopping here. They are planning to shrink their carbon footprint further to improve the air quality in the heart of our communities.
“Winning these two awards is a proud moment for us. It’s a reflection of the major investment we’ve made in sustainability and innovation. We have put into practise what it means to be environmentally responsible in last mile delivery business while staying ahead of the curve. We are proud to be the Islands’ Green Delivery Partner of Choice – setting the standard for the rest to follow,” David Attard, Executive Director stated.
