Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2017 National Payroll Giving Excellence Awards

Best Partnership at the 2016 CorpComms Awards

Our work with Missing People has been recognised at the prestigious CorpComms Awards. The accolade is given to a partnership between a business and a charity that delivers outstanding community benefits. The judges said: ‘This is a truly stand out partnership. It is extremely clever, relevant and built out of insight.’

Global sustainability leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices

As one of the top-scoring companies in the Transportation and Transportation Infrastructure Industry, we were awarded a Silver Class Sustainability Award for our sustainability performance in the 2016 Dow Jones Sustainability Index. Royal Mail is listed in both the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index. We have been named a global leader in the indices every year we have been eligible for inclusion, since our flotation.

The Platinum Payroll Giving Quality Mark

We hold the “Platinum” Payroll Giving quality mark. This award recognises our commitment to support and encourage a culture of giving in the workplace, by promoting Payroll Giving to the very highest standard.

Economic and social contribution

It’s also important to remember the major contribution economic and social impact we make to the UK. We rank as the 7th largest of all UK corporations in terms of our contribution to the UK economy. As one of the UK’s largest private employers, one in every 192 employees works for Royal Mail. We provide jobs where there are generally fewer and, through this, make a significant contribution to the distribution of wealth across the UK.
