TNT

Delivering change

Based in the Netherlands, TNT N.V. provides mail and delivery services for businesses and consumers in more than 200 countries.

A TNT Group director approached CarbonSense to help the Group set strategy in the light of climate change and determine how to set realistic and ambitious targets for reducing carbon in operations throughout the world.

CarbonSense helped TNT to define a pathway or ‘carbon journey’ to bring climate change awareness to the heart of employee actions as well as corporate strategy. As a result, and with the commitment of the board, TNT has set a visionary target, instituted a wide range of practical plans and initiated 'Planet Me' (www.tntplanetme.com) to engage employees worldwide in a radical reduction of CO2 emissions.

CarbonSense helped us to frame thinking about climate change at TNT that contributed to development of a unique corporate climate initiative. Central concepts: carbon illiterate society, bringing CO2 to customer level, the development of the notion to clearly involve our staff in this.

You helped to deepen the commitment of the Board of Management and helped us to present our initiative to our most senior management. Furthermore you gave us a significant boost in our thinking about "clean buildings".

Your key competence seems to be a deep understanding of the origins of global warming, the impact and the action required to reduce this AND excellent and very creative communications skills.
