Social responsibility awards
Our mission clearly states our commitment to sharing responsibility for the world in which we operate. TNT values the recognition it receives for its efforts as it is testimony to the significant effort we put into social responsibility.
Dow Jones Sustainability Index
The Dow Jones Sustainability Index is the first global index tracking the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide. The index provides reliable and objective benchmarks for sustainability performance. TNT was first listed in the Index in 2005 with the highest score of any transport-related company and maintained this position in 2006. In 2007, TNT also reached the highest score of all companies included in the Index; a position TNT was able to maintain in 2008.
Accountancy Award
We were delighted to win the Dutch Accountancy Award 2007 for our 2006 social responsibility report. The jury praised the report for the comprehensiveness of the information, its limited size, the business-like tone of voice by 'sticking to the point’.
