TNT opens first “green” depot in the Netherlands
On October 29, TNT opened its first CO2 emission-free depot in Veenendaal, the Netherlands. The building is designed to allow in as much daylight as possible, reducing the amount of artificial light required. The building produces its own energy in a sustainable way. More than 300 solar panels collect sunlight and convert it into energy. Water is pumped from the ground to heat and cool the building. The depot is the first in a series of “green” buildings to be used by TNT as part of its worldwide environmental programme, Planet Me. TNT aims to cut the CO2 emissions of all of its buildings, totalling three million square metres of real estate in over sixty-five countries.
