Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.

La Poste, the French postal service company, is hiring 190 employees at its new site in Perpignan, which is set to open in June 2025. Located in the industrial zone of Torremilla, the new 7,500 m² multiflux platform represents a major investment of 13.4 million euros. This facility is designed to enhance postal and logistics services for the hundreds of thousands of individuals and businesses in the city.
The site is also aligned with La Poste’s environmental commitments, boasting high energy performance standards and a certification for high environmental quality. Sustainability has been integrated into its design, including the installation of 1,200 m² of solar panels on the rooftop to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, 70 electric vehicles could be stationed at the site.
La Poste has several large restructurings recorded on the ERM database, primarily in France, with the latest cutting around a hundred of jobs in 2024 La Poste 2023 - FR.
