MILTON PARK: Workers at logistics operator TNT have proved they can deliver the goods when the express delivery giant enhanced its green credentials by gaining an acclaimed environmental standard at the first attempt.

The ISO14001 accreditation was achieved after the company was put through a tough critical examination by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), with assessors conducting checks on the company's environmental management activities.

These included waste reduction and recycling, fuel efficiency, environmental training, pollution control and energy reduction.

Wesley Kernaghan, depot general manager, said: "We want to pave the way in reducing our carbon footprint and lead by example."
