Norfolk Southern Railway has joined the Smart Freight Centre, an Amsterdam-based, global nonprofit dedicated to promoting more sustainable logistics.
Joining the center underscores NS’ commitment to sustainable rail and building a greener supply chain, NS officials said today in a Story Yard article on the Class I's website.
Both organizations share the goal of lowering emissions and improving efficiency across freight transportation. By collaborating with the Smart Freight Centre, NS reinforces its pledge to help customers meet their climate goals, company officials said.
As a member of the center, NS will be included on the Global Logistics Emissions Council, which drives consistent calculation and reporting of emissions, and the Clean Cargo group, in which NS will learn and share best practices. NS' membership in the Smart Freight Centre also aligns with the railroad's RailGreen program.
“Partnership is key to advancing sustainable shipping. By engaging with maritime collaborators and cargo owners, we’re reducing supply chain emissions and delivering smarter logistics solutions that benefit our customers and the environment,” said NS Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Ed Elkins.
