Postal Standardization

CLS briefing series from the digital commerce & logistics industry experts

Active in the postal industry for more than 30 years, and with Walter Trezek re-elected as Chairman of the UPU's Consultative Committee (UPU CC), the body representing the wider postal stakeholders, CLS is ideally placed to provide concise and accurate summaries about current industry developments, plus our thoughts on future trends and the postal industry as a whole.

Ecommerce is global, and the UPU has now resolved to give the wider postal stakeholders a much greater role in its future development. As a result, postal standardization is an increasingly important topic, and the basis for truly interoperable delivery networks, added value services, and seamless cross-border delivery.
