1980s

At the PTT, terms such as “ecology” or “environmental protection” appear in publications for the first time. A training course for civil servants held in 1984 is entitled: “PTT marketing and the environment”. The memo of proceedings raises the question of the extent to which PTT’s marketing should take social, societal and environmental aspects into account.
