Carbon Management
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. Moreover, the transition to a low carbon economy is inevitable and gaining momentum. This reality leads to new demands on TNT from various stakeholders, including governments, customers, investors and employees, with stricter regulations and higher expectations.
Customers are actively reducing CO2 in their supply chain, which implies that CO2 increasingly influences their purchase decisions. Transport suppliers that operate carbon efficiently are expected to gain market share. Key stakeholders of TNT are increasingly focused on climate change risk management. By managing CO2 performance TNT is well positioned to meet key stakeholders’ expectations.
Managing CO2 has become more important and is required if TNT is to stay ahead of tightening regulations in the future and reduce dependency on increasingly expensive fossil fuels. Carbon efficiency clearly goes beyond ensuring the licence to operate. It is increasingly becoming a differentiator, a key success factor for TNT that creates opportunities for the organisation. Such benefits have already proved successful by the provision of preferred access for electric vehicles to inner-city areas.
