Climate Change Policy

In December 2006 the Corporation issued its Climate Change Policy. The aim of the policy is to work towards a positive impact on the global environment and it is intended to apply consistently across all our businesses and in the diverse markets in which we operate. By adopting this policy we are committed to adapting and mitigating risks presented by climate change by becoming one of the most resource-efficient and ecologically sustainable railways and property-service providers in the world.

The key actions to be taken under the policy are to assess the risks and opportunities posed by climate change and implement actions to mitigate those risks. We will work to reduce our direct carbon emissions in a targeted and continuous fashion and actively influence our energy providers to address the climate-change issue. As part of our commitment to change, we will report on achievements annually.
