DHL UK places environmental management firmly on the agenda

Posted by | Jan 14, 2005 | |

DHL is putting consideration for the environment at the heart of business today with the implementation of an environmental management software system from Entropy International, the first of its kind to be deployed by a UK logistics company. The decision has been prompted by requests from DHL customers to have access to auditable reports on the company`s environmental policy and practice, and DHL`s commitment to increased transparency in documenting the impact of its business on the environment.

The program will be used across a majority of DHL`s premises in the UK and Ireland, with roll-out expected in 2005, as part of the organisation`s commitment to achieving ISO14001 accreditation by 2007.

Business Post enters the FTSE 250 Share Index

Posted by | Jan 14, 2005 | |

It was announced by the London Stock Exchange this week that Business Post Group plc has entered the FTSE 250 share index. Business Post’s Chief Executive Officer, Paul Carvell, commented that this marks another major milestone in the continuing development of the Group. “This had been on the cards for some time” he said, “but it came a little earlier than we had expected. The market capitalisation of the Group has grown as a result of recent increases in our share price but we had, in any case, been on the threshold of entry to the index for some months now”. Business Post becomes the only British owned express delivery company to appear in this index, although a number of logistics companies feature within it.

TPG to become TNT: one global brand for all activities

Posted by | Jan 14, 2005 | |

TPG will operate globally under the brand TNT for all its activities from 2006. If approved during the General Meeting of Shareholders, the statutory name of the group (and the name of the share listed on the stock exchange) will be changed on 8 April 2005 to TNT N.V. The name change highlights the increasing internationalisation of the company. PTT Post adopted the name TPG after it acquired TNT in 1998 and changed its name to TPG Post in 2002. Outside The Netherlands, TPG presently offers postal services in eight European countries, partly under the name TNT. The name change will be accompanied by a change in the company colour to orange for the entire group. The phased introduction of the TNT brand for the Mail division and of its corporate identity will take form starting from 2006.
