Corporate Responsibility Governance

“To maintain our position as the leader of the IndustrialProducts and Services super sector in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index is an outstanding achievement.  It reflects well on our people, our policies and our overall approach in all that we do.”

Alistair Cochrane, Managing Director

Corporate responsibility is an integral part of TNT’s strategy and daily operations. Alistair Cochrane, Managing Director, TNT Express Services UK & Ireland is responsible for implementing TNT’s corporate responsibility policies and the CR performance of the UK & Ireland business unit.

TNT’s CR governance structure is built upon a solid foundation of five internationally-recognised standards that have been implemented through TNT policies and procedures. This framework is established primarily around employees, the environment, voluntary contributions to society and supported by internal communications, CR reporting, HR and integrity.

TNT continues to integrate these standards into its supply chain and benchmark the company’s responsibility practices. For the past two years TNT has led the Industrial Products and Services super sector in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) with the highest score of any organisation.

The DJSI tracks the financial performance of the leading 2500 sustainability-driven companies worldwide in terms of economic, environmental and social criteria. Companies must demonstrate that they combine business success with an ethical and responsible approach. 

TNT’s performance in the DJSI is illustrated here.
