The strategy for transforming Post Fiji into a sustainable and profitable company centers on three main approaches. First, the focus is on exploring and diversifying revenue streams. This involves conducting market analyses to find new opportunities, such as partnerships with e-commerce platforms and introducing financial and value-added services. For example, developing a digital marketplace for local artisans can attract a new customer base. Second, optimizing operational efficiency is emphasized by upgrading technology and automating processes to minimize costs, like streamlining postal services through modern infrastructure. Third, enhancing sustainability practices, such as implementing renewable energy solutions and launching recycling programs, reinforces Post Fiji's commitment to environmental responsibility.
