  1. Assessment of Postal Activity Case: Argentina

  2. Aim of the studies done • Assessing Environmental Features of Simple Letter Service based on AECA´s interest about showing if the activity pollutes the environment Environmental Impact Study • Performing the assessment of the life cycle and Calculation of Carbon Footprint for Reception Service and Sending a Corporative Simple Letter • Establishing a comparison with respect to sending and receiving acommercial e-mail ALC and Calculation of CO2 Footprint

  3. What is it an Study on Environmental Impact (SEI) It`s a description and an analysis of environmental resources within the area of influence of the activity being studied, considering: Environment Physical Medium Socioeconomic Medium • Air quality (emissions) • Noise • Liquid Effluent • Solid Waste • Flora, Fauna and visual impact • Employment generation • Effect on commerce, industry and other services • Effect on traffic • Social Welfare and cultural heritage • Safety

  4. SEI Structure What is it for? Knowing the situation or environmentalbaseline of Postal Activity Stage 1 Describing processes and activities, resources consumption, wastes, effluents and emissions from the activity Stage 2 Identifying environmental impacts generated by the activity Stage 3 Management plans with opportunities of improvementor mitigation actionsof significant impact

  5. Methodology • Selecting the most representative process of postal activity. • Designing questionnaires to collect environmental aspects. • Selecting samples from establishments to audit according to the representativeness of the activity under study: 86.7%of Postal Production is developed in the cities observed. Planning Fieldwork 1. Audits to 30 establishments: head offices – Distribution Centers – Point of Sales : validation in situ performed by the University team. 2. Collate and validate the Postal Activities observed against legislation on its levels State – Province – Municipality.

  6. Methodology: Leopold Matrix of Cause-Effect (Example) Process Activities Pick Up Reception Distribution Air -19 0 -3 Environmental Factors Noise -25 0 -25 Employment 52 52 52

  7. Outcomes from Environmental Impact Study 100 Crítical Regarding environmental impact of Simple Letter, the study shows that Postal Activity does not pollute the environment. 75 Severe 50 Moderate +37 25 Compatible 0

  8. Compared Legislation: Diagram of Environmental Legislation in Argentina National Constitution and Laws of Minimal Budgets Federal State Provincial Laws and Decrees Provinces Ordinances and Provisions Municipalities

  9. Different Points of View

  10. Carbon Footprint • What is it? • The Carbon footprint is " the total of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions directly or indirectly caused by an individual, organization, business, product or service." Kyoto Protocol It is an international agreement, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that generate global warning.

  11. Methodology: PAS 2050 Emissions are calculated through the analysis of Products / services Life Cycle

  12. Stages of the Study Scope Fieldwork Life Cycle Assessment Emissions Results Improvements

  13. Tool Used Software used to visualize the Life Cycle of letter and its associated emissions

  14. Factors and Procedures involved in the study
