Wide-ranging advice and support for UK postal service
Between 1999 and 2005, we worked extensively with Royal Mail, the UK national postal service, on initiatives to improve its sustainability performance.
For example, we advised the organisation on its partnership with the charity Re-Cycle to find new uses for its old delivery bicycles. Under the partnership, bikes were shipped to countries where they could be reused. As well as benefiting the bikes’ recipients, this also reduced Royal Mail’s waste stream and associated disposal costs. Our work included creating a business case, addressing legal concerns, identifying a scheme partner, and managing a pilot project.
Our other projects for Royal Mail have included the management and development of a Christmas card recycling scheme, and many projects related to improving the eco-efficiency of its core operations and developing new products and services that enabled its customers to comply with environmental regulations.
We also provided independent assurance of Royal Mail Group’s 2003-04 and 2004-05 CSR reports.
