The Saudi Post, known as SPL, has been honoured with the gold (Level A) certification in security standards by the Universal Postal Union (UPU). This recognition is for SPL's dedication to implementing security measures in the international supply chain mail. It also reflects their commitment to the UPU's strategy of enhancing postal institutions' capabilities in mail security.

Achieving this certification highlights Saudi Arabia's leadership in postal services and logistics. It also marks a significant step towards sustainable postal development goals. SPL's adherence to international security standards ensures secure handling and transportation of mail shipments, boosting its competitive edge both locally and globally.

SPL reached the gold level after a thorough inspection by UPU experts. They evaluated SPL's performance and compliance with essential requirements. These include ensuring safe postal operations, protecting employee and customer health, and managing risks for a secure working environment.

All operational processes were scrutinised during this inspection. This included examining buildings, systems, and equipment used in handling mail shipments. The security monitoring operations at the logistics exchange centre were also assessed to ensure compliance with standards.

The gold level certification is a testament to the hard work of SPL employees. Their efforts in implementing necessary procedures have been crucial in obtaining accreditation for compliance with UPU's security standards S58 and S59. This achievement recognises their dedication to maintaining high safety standards.
