Our Values Our values define our relationships with our employees and customers. They reflect the principles, beliefs and aspirations that guide our behaviour and shape our culture. We’ve arrived at these values through discussion and consultation with employees across the UK. They are core to our identity even as we undergo considerable change: We work safely Royal Mail Group is committed to reducing the likelihood of accidents in the workplace.

We want all our colleagues to treat each other with respect, and are committed to providing equal opportunities We are trusted to succeed From a child awaiting a birthday parcel to a major multinational for which timely delivery of documents is business-critical, we work to build our customers trust in our ability to succeed every day We act commercially Our business is changing.
