Royal Mail runs the UK's largest light van fleet in the UK, and the judges applauded it for recognising the social responsibility that goes hand in hand with this. With a vision of building a 'zero-harm' health and safety culture, drivers are subjected to on-road training and risk assessments before they are allowed to drive a Royal Mail van. In 2016/17, the operator provided more than 13,500 training courses to its van drivers. A focus on areas with high collision rates coupled with bespoke training courses for these locations led to a 49% reduction in collisions in start/stop operations. Royal Mail has also proven its commitment to social responsibility with the recent purchase of 100 Peugeot Partner vans, and its participation in a trial of nine brand new electric vans built by Arrival.
