Royal Mail is the leading provider of postal and delivery services in the UK and the UK’s designated universal postal service provider. Royal Mail’s 90,000 posties walk over a billion steps a day, helping make the company the greenest option for delivering parcels, based on competitors’ reported emissions**. Royal Mail has an ambitious plan to be Net Zero by 2040 and reduce the average carbon emissions per parcel it delivers in the UK from 205gCO2e today to 50gCO2e. It’s the same as making a cup of tea with milk.

** When measured in terms of the CO2e emissions per parcel reported by the UK parcel delivery companies who currently publicly report these statistics.
