The programme includes a new mobile phone initiative to enable staff to donate to the United Nations World Food Programme by text, a carbon omission reduction scheme and a new workplace safety standard.

Simon Dolph, head of marketing and communication at TNT, said: “Developing a CSR programme for our UK business is an important step forward for TNT Post. Having built up an established reputation as leading challenger to Royal Mail in the postal market, we are keen to build on our parent’s track record in CSR and instil these values in our UK operations.”
