Business principles
TNT aims to be a trustworthy, values-based company with a reputation for integrity, transparancy and compliance. To enhance that vision TNT has developed and implemented the TNT Integrity Programme and the TNT Business Principles and related policies and procedures. The TNT Business Principles deal with topics, such as:
TNT aims to be a trustworthy, values-based company with a reputation for integrity, transparancy and compliance.
- compliance with laws and regulations
- accurate and timely disclosure
- transparency
- equal opportunities
- fair treatment
- conflict of interest
- corruption
- fair competition
- social responsibility.
It is crucial our people and business associates understand our principles – and incorporate them in their day to day behaviour. Awareness and understanding of the TNT Business Principles are enhanced via communication and live and web-based training. We are also integrating them into our strategic and operational decision processes. For example, an integrity due diligence procedure is part of our mergers and acquisitions process, and new employees all need to state that they know and understand our TNT Business Principles.
For any further details we refer to the TNT Integrity Programme as described in the Annual and Social responsibility report 2007. Versions in other languages of the TNT Business Principles and related policies and procedures are available on request.
