In the 2023/24 financial year, Royal Mail's carbon footprint was approximately 1.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), which represented a small increase compared to the previous year. This growth is due in part to the company's increase in its Scope 3 emissions reporting for the 2023/24 financial year.
