Case study: Royal Mail

/ October 30th 2020
Action 3 Resources Ad Net Zero Climate Action UK Advertising’s Climate Action Showcase

Royal Mail occupies a unique position within UK advertising. It is a media channel in its own right through direct mail and door drop, whilst also delivering mail from UK businesses to nearly 31 million UK households every week.  Royal Mail’s commitment to the UK advertising industry is reflected in its far-reaching environmental programmes.

As a media owner, Royal Mail is committed to supporting innovation and continuous progress in products and materials used to achieve sustainable production of mail. It is encouraging best practice in materials that deliver these advances such as biodegradable inks and starch-based polymers.

Royal Mail is also committed to reducing the emissions associated with its business operations, working with suppliers and partners to reduce emissions across the value chain. Having met its 2020-21 carbon reduction target with a 31% reduction from 2004-05 levels, Royal Mail’s new environmental strategy, Delivering a Cleaner Future, will focus action in three key areas; becoming a net zero business, having a fleet 100% powered by alternative fuel, and ensuring responsible consumption.

The company has already made good progress with the introduction of electric and other alternative fuelled vehicles to its fleet, with over 300 already operational across the UK. The most recent example is a prototype electric van based on a London Taxi from the London Electric Vehicle Company.  Royal Mail is committed to making changes that reduce its environmental impact, whilst ensuring it continues to innovate to meet customer expectations.
