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.
TNT earned fresh recognition for its progressive carbon footprint reduction
programme when it was awarded the Carbon Trust Standard.
The Trust recognises organisations for real carbon reduction. Based on a rigorous, independent assessment, it certifies that organisations have measured, managed and reduced their carbon emissions across their own operations, and are committed to reducing them year on year.
Harry Morrison, General Manager of the Carbon Trust Standard Company, said: "We congratulate TNT in the UK and Ireland on their achievement of the Carbon Trust Standard.
"It allows TNT to talk with integrity about the serious and credible steps it has taken to reduce its carbon emissions. It also provides the company with audited emissions data they need to build the appropriate carbon reduction strategies and deliver on their ongoing carbon commitment."
Neil Griffiths, Director of Health Safety and Environmental for TNT Express Services UK & Ireland, said: "We are delighted to receive certification with the Carbon Trust Standard, which further confirms our green credentials.
"The Carbon Trust Standard validates and recognises our work to reduce TNT's environmental impact, and the financial and carbon savings made by operations in the UK and Ireland. It also proves to our stakeholders that we have a long-term commitment to continue to cut our carbon footprint."
