The Road to Net Zero
Reaching Net Zero by 2050 means rethinking how we send information. We worked with Project Rome’s Professor Simon Pringle to compare the carbon impact of paper mail and secure email.
View our findings
95% lower costs
Our consultancy process revealed that businesses with high mail volumes can save up to 95% on print, pack, and post by switching to secure email.
80% carbon reduction
Secure email reduces carbon output by over 80% when accounting for the full lifecycle of paper production and delivery.
270 tonnes of CO₂ saved
Aegon has saved an estimated 270 tonnes of CO₂ since switching to Mailock in 2019.
Time to change?
Switching even part of your sensitive document output to secure email is a step forward - not just for the planet, but for your organisation’s security and compliance posture.
Carbon footprint
Every tonne of post generates around 3 tonnes of CO₂e & uses around 1,000 tonnes of water.
Rising costs
Paper prices rose by 60% in 2022. Royal Mail delivery costs increased between 10 and 18%.
Service interruptions
Postal strikes and cyber attacks have led to delays, lost documents, and customer dissatisfaction.
Legacy inefficiency
In a digital-first world, postal delivery introduces unnecessary delays to time-critical communications.
Security risk
Confidential post can be opened by anyone who handles it, putting customer data at risk.
Compliance issues
Once a letter is sent, there’s no way to retract it or control access in the event of a breach.
Switch from recorded post to secure email
Mailock enables organisations to send confidential communications securely to customers’ inboxes - cutting carbon, reducing risk, and boosting efficiency.
High response rates
Deliver direct to the email inbox and increase open and response rates.
Easy deployment
