Read about NIB's sustainability-linked loansProject
NIB has provided a sustainability-linked loan to Posten Bring AS to support the company’s climate transition. The loan is tied to three targets: reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 85% and Scope 3 emissions by 30% by 2030, compared with a 2022 baseline, and improving workplace safety, measured as work-related injuries per million hours worked.
Fulfilment of NIB’s mission
Productivity
To meet its targets, Posten Bring plans to electrify its vehicle fleet and build the charging infrastructure needed to support it. This will establish and make available a nationwide charging network. The company will also invest in operational equipment and sorting automation to improve and optimise its operations.
Environment
Climate change is among the topics with the most material impact identified in Posten Bring’s double materiality assessment. Its 2025 emissions totalled around 363,000 tonnes of CO2e, of which roughly 90% were Scope 3. The loan is tied to two climate targets that match the company’s science-based targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative in 2024 in line with a 1.5°C pathway, and together cover all of the group’s emissions. Posten Bring has also committed to net-zero emissions by 2040.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions will be reduced mainly through fleet electrification, greater use of biogas, route optimisation, charging infrastructure and on-site solar power. Scope 3 emissions will be addressed by using more fossil-free transport, shifting freight from road to rail and strengthening sustainability requirements in procurement.
Posten Bring’s Scope 1 and 2 target is more ambitious than those of Nordic and Baltic postal peers with validated targets, while its Scope 3 target is less ambitious. The company is on track to meet both targets, and its sustainability reporting is subject to limited third-party assurance.
Sustainability summary
The loan’s climate targets are based on Posten Bring’s SBTi-validated targets. The borrower’s activities are eligible under several Taxonomy categories, including road and rail freight transport and transshipment infrastructure such as sorting facilities. In 2025, 77% of its capital expenditure and 82% of its operating expenditure were reported as Taxonomy-eligible.
