Board of Management
The TNT Board of Management oversees TNT as a whole, and is responsible for setting TNT’s mission, vision and strategy – and its implementation – as well as taking responsibility for TNT’s overall results. At present, the Board of Management consists of four members: the CEO, the CFO and the managing directors of the Mail and Express divisions.
The Board of Management is committed to:
- managing TNT in a structured and transparent way
- providing stakeholders with a clear view on decision-making processes
- ensuring TNT's comply with all relevant legislation and regulations
- financing TNT's activities
- external communications
- managing any risks associated with TNT's activities, as well as
- reporting to TNT's Supervisory Board and its Audit Committee.
Following the requirements of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, all members of TNT's Board of Management are appointed or re-appointed for a four-year term according to a re-appointment schedule.
TNT’s Board of Management has formed two committees to assist in complying with TNT's corporate governance requirements:
The Disclosure Committee – they advise and assist the Board of Management, to ensure our disclosures in reports are full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable, and fairly present the condition of the company. Finally the Disclosure Committee provides oversight of the design, development, implementation and ongoing effectiveness of TNT’s disclosure controls and procedures.
The Ethics Committee – they advise and assist the Board of Management with the development and implementation of group policies and procedures relating to ethical behaviour, preventing fraud and anti-corruption matters. They also oversee investigations resulting from complaints via the Whistleblower Procedure and/or the Fraud Prevention Procedure, and make recommendations on disciplinary matters.
