Sustainable Development Policy
Our commitment to our environmental obligations is central to our activities; therefore, our Sustainable Development Policy seeks to establish a balance between our need to act commercially to grow our business and our commitment to the environment.
Our sustainable development policy objectives are:
To manage and, where possible, reduce the environmental risk of our operations
To use natural resources in an efficient and responsible manner
To ensure all new developments and business growth prospects have regard for the environment and look for opportunities for environmental improvement
To effectively communicate our environmental performance to all relevant stakeholders
To prepare for and respond effectively to environmental incidents or emergencies
The benefits of rail modal shift
Modal shift of freight from road to rail is good for the country. Rail presents a faster, greener, safer, and more efficient way of transporting loads across Britain and is increasingly the mode of choice in a competitive freight market.
Rail freight’s CO2 emissions are 76% less than road per tonne carried.
On average a gallon of fuel will move a tonne of goods 246 miles on the railway, but only 88 miles by road.
