Bakker scoops award

TNT’s Peter Bakker has been granted the Sustainability Leadership Award 2010 by SAM and SPG. The two sustainable investment companies presented the award to the CEO and Ashok Gadgil, a professor for environmental technology at the University of Berkeley.

Each year since 2001, the award recognises “two individuals who have provided extraordinary leadership or done pioneering work on behalf of sustainability and business success.”

The jury highlighted the efforts of TNT to fight world hunger and reduce carbon emissions through its two programs, “Moving the World” (a joint initiative with the United Nations’ World Food Programme) and “Planet Me.”
