TNT and the Environment

“As a driver of an electric truck, I know full well the commitment TNT makes to

 

the environment. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first but now I wouldn’t swap it for any other vehicle.

It’s so simple to drive, so quiet and pollution free. My customers think it’s great and can’t understand why other companies don’t invest in them…TNT 1, Competition 0!”

Lee Morgan, PUD driver, TNT Milton

Care for our Customers

2010 saw the launch of TNT’s Customer Promise – a series of pledges by the company to its customers that help differentiate TNT from its competitors.

Managing Director, Alistair Cochrane, said: “The Customer Promise is our commitment to our customers that we’re doing all we can to exceed their expectations at all times.”

Recognising the importance of the company’s environmental performance, TNT has a ‘promise’ dedicated to further enhancing its ‘green’ credentials – ‘We promise to know what planet we’re on.’

Keeping a promise – TNT’s Customer Promise charter addresses the need for the company to minimise its impact on the environment

The undertaking to customers states: ‘We’re a transport company. We recognise that we are part of the problem of carbon emissions and climate change, so we must be part of the solution. Our target is to become the world’s first carbon neutral transport company, and that’s why we invest so much time, money and effort in alternative fuels, electric vehicles, green offices and depots and, generally working cleaner.”
