TNT supports anti-bribery campaign

JAKARTA: Delivery service company TNT Indonesia voiced support on Wednesday for the ongoing anti-bribery campaign spearheaded by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin).

TNT said all the members of the Association of Indonesian Express Delivery Services Company (Asperindo), including TNT Indonesia, had signed the anti-bribery pact on Oct. 9.

"This initiative on anti bribery, which is aimed at creating a transparent business environment, is in line with the recent upgrade by Moody's and S&P on Indonesia's rating, indicating promising business developments," TNT Indonesia's president director Colin Moran, who is also Asperindo's international compartment coordinator, said in a statement.

Moran said the initiative would help boost the country's economic recovery and thus TNT, as a leading player in the delivery-services industry would benefit.

Moran said as part of the anti-bribery campaign, TNT would educate the public on the dangers of bribery.

Asperindo has 600 members throughout Indonesia, with 117 of them based in Jakarta. -- JP
