TNT - Moving the World

Our partnership with WFP is a great opportunity for us to put our expertise to work and bring solutions where they are needed. In the express delivery business, we’re acutely conscious of our responsibility to drive change and to do our part in making a sustainable future for our children. There is so much that businesses can do to help, and by engaging with WFP we contribute to creating a better world.

As one of the world’s biggest companies specialising in logistics, TNT has helped to improve the efficiency of WFP through critical logistical assistance, state-of-the art commodity-tracking and improved supply chain methodologies.
