TNT cites ISO 14001 as key to Environmental Performance
12th November 2008 by Alex Briggs
TNT UK/Ireland and their use of ISO 14001 as the key to their overall environmental strategy was the focus of a Sustainable Business Magazine article in the October edition.
TNT uses management systems to underpin their business, currently holding four certifications in the UK/Ireland: ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) and Investors in People.
TNT has reported significant competitive advantage from the achievement of verifiable environmental performance.
Neil Griffiths, director of health, safety and environment at TNT Express Services says: “In terms of business assurance, this is not just a tick in the box.”
Commenting on their ISO 14001 certification from Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), Griffiths added, “For us it’s about continuous improvement; it’s more than just a certificate that hangs on the wall. It’s about creating good business benefits from a robust environmental management system.”
