TNT and the Environment
Environmental Impact
The impact of TNT’s operational activities on the environment is one of the key drivers for its corporate responsibility strategy. TNT recognises that the transport industry generates nearly one fifth of the world’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. TNT inevitably contributes to that output and therefore the company is committed to reducing its carbon footprint.
ISO 14001 Certification
TNT’s environmental impacts are monitored closely through its Environmental Management System which is the basis for managing the company’s environmental performance. TNT has adopted the international standard ISO 14001 for this purpose. The standard provides a framework for identifying and managing environmental risks and their impact and provides a process for continuously improving environmental performance.
Managing CO2 Performance
TNT acknowledges its influence on climate change and the improvement of its CO2 efficiency is therefore an important focal point of TNT’s environment pillar.
Planet Me Environmental Objectives
TNT has developed a specific programme to raise awareness of
climate change and to act as the framework within which TNT’s operations seek to reduce CO2 emissions. This initiative is called Planet Me and was launched in 2007. Its primary objective is to reduce the environmental impact of TNT’s operations and to boost the financial performance of TNT by improving fuel efficiency.
