Operating with integrity

We’re committed to always running our business honestly, fairly and ethically. This extends to how we treat our people, the suppliers we choose and work with, and how we conduct ourselves as a respected UK business.

Supporting our planet

We aim to be the sustainability leader in our industry, respected by communities in every postcode and valued by our people, customers and stakeholders. To achieve this, we’ve set ourselves the ambitious target of achieving a 100% zero emission final mile by 2035. We’re already taking steps towards that goal, including:

• Upgrading our Postie's diesel vans with zero-emission electric vans and micro-electric vehicles
• Using our fleet more efficiently to support and enhance delivery walking routes
• Embracing innovation to re-invent our how we deliver for the nation, including the use of drones for remote locations

We're proud of our progress so farSupporting our communities

Royal Mail contributes millions to supporting good causes and issues affecting our communities. This includes our Articles for the Blind service. The service enables blind and partially sighted individuals to be sent items, such as talking books, mobility aids and relief maps, free of charge. We also support causes that are important to our employees through our matched funding programmes. We top-up the money they raise at their fundraising events and challenges.

We aim to be the employer of choice with a diverse, equitable, and accessible culture, enabling our people and communities to thrive. As a large employer in communities across the UK, we are uniquely placed to help prepare young people for the world of work through our employability support and work experience programmes.
