At SR Mailing, Corporate Social Responsibility is a top priority. We firmly believe that paving the way for a greener and better future involves actively giving back to our community.
In today’s fast-paced e-commerce world, packaging waste and carbon emissions have become unavoidable social challenges. Founded in Manchester in 2014, SR Mailing Ltd (standing for “Sustainable & Responsible”) has placed its green mission at the heart of its operations, committed to embedding responsibility into every step.
Our Goals and dedication extends beyond our customers and staff; we are committed to making a difference to society by fostering every aspect of sustainability and enhancing community well-being.
-We host several charitable events throughout the year that transcend even beyond environmental concerns, and commit tp helping those less fortunate on a frequent basis.
