ISO 14001 Certification

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.

Within TNT UK & Ireland the environmental management system is externally assessed every year by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance (LRQA). TNT locations up and down the country are involved in the critical examination process, with assessors conducting checks on the company's environmental management activities. These include waste reduction and recycling, fuel efficiency, environmental training, pollution control and energy reduction

The business unit gained certification to the ISO 14001 Standard at the first attempt in 2007 as official acknowledgement that TNT is making significant strides towards reducing its carbon footprint.

TNT is the first express and logistics operator to achieve this certification on a company-wide basis, and the first to hold both ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 (Health & Safety) standards at the same time.
