Use Case: Carbon
Reduce carbon output, deliver mail digitally
Does your paper output reflect your sustainability goals? Deliver confidential information with a 95% reduction in carbon when you switch from print and post.

Road to Net Zero
There is no escaping the fact that we need to change - and soon. To reach the goal of Net Zero by 2050, we need to reduce our reliance on carbon-intensive materials and processes. We evaluated the advantages of taking your confidential print and post digital in research conducted with Project Rome's Simon Pringle, Associate Fellow Of Chatham House & Professor at Edinburgh University.


Lower costs
Through our consultancy process, we found that for businesses with high outputs, secure email generates 95% savings on print, pack, and post.

Carbon savings
Taking into account the full lifecycle of paper production and delivery, secure email helps businesses to reduce their carbon impact by over 80%.

Results to be proud of
By applying the findings to our existing base, we were able to show our client, Aegon, that it has saved 270 tonnes of CO2 since joining our service in 2019.
What could you save?
Take our 2-minute online assessment to see how much carbon you could save by switching from post to secure email.
Time to change?
Switching a portion of your sensitive document output to secure email is an immediate step towards carbon output reduction, but it's not just the carbon cost that makes tracked post unsuited to sensitive information exchanges. Security, compliance, and efficiency are among the benefits of digital alternatives.

The true cost of post

Carbon impact
Every tonne of post generates around 3 tonnes of CO2e & uses around 1,000 tonnes of water to produce.

Rising costs
Paper costs increased 60% during 2022 while Royal Mail postal delivery costs rose between 10 and 18%.

Service interruption
Worker strikes and security attacks have left businesses dealing with delays and unhappy customers.

Legacy inefficiency
In a world of instantaneous communication, post can add days to business-critical processes.

Security concerns
Anyone handling confidential post can open and read it, compromising any customer data it contains.

Compliance
Once information has been posted there's no way to remotely block access to isolate a breach.
