Poste Italiane

RETAIL & E-COMMERCE

Company Profile

With its 159-year history, a network of more than 12,785 post offices, a workforce of 125 thousand, total financial assets of €569 billion and 35 million customers, Poste Italiane is an integral part of Italy’s economic, social and productive fabric, occupying an unparalleled position in the country in terms of size, recognisability, reach and customer loyalty.

Poste Italiane is now the largest logistics operator in Italy, and is a leading player in the financial, insurance and payment services sector.

During 2020 Poste Italiane continued the progressive transformation of its logistics network to consolidate and enhance the efficiency of the country's most widespread distribution network.

These important results place Poste Italiane in a privileged position to seize the opportunities related to e-commerce growth, thanks also to its consolidated know-how in the payments and digital sectors.

Poste Italiane is the leading platform for asset management, loan and mortgage products distribution across Italy’s most effective and trusted distribution network.

The Poste Italiane Group is the main Italian provider of payment services, with an integrated, multi- channel distribution platform that leverages the physical network of the Post Offices and a latest generation digital infrastructure.

The Company plays an important role in the country, making a strong contribution to the production chain and the national economy: by investing and operating together with other operators in its value chain, it generates positive results not only through its own business, but also by generating externalities through the activation of a local supply chain.

With a turnover of €10.5 billion, the Group’s activities generate significant impacts on the country in terms of Gross Domestic Product, tax revenues, employment and household income. These impacts are the effect of the involvement of many local companies - many of them small and medium-sized - in the supply chain and investment activities in Italian companies and government bonds. Supporting both public and private actors, Poste Italiane contributes to the development of the entire national economy.

Over the last four years, Poste Italiane has embarked on an important sustainability program aimed at promoting the distinctive elements of its corporate strategy, transforming market challenges into opportunities for the   reputation.

Sustainability is now considered an integral part of the company’s activities, processes and strategies.
