CSX yesterday released its 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, detailing the company’s advancements in addressing ESG issues through alternative fuel projects, investments in safety innovations and work environment enhancements.
The report describes CSX's efforts in environmental sustainability, particularly in alternative fuel projects and advanced decarbonization technologies for locomotives, reducing emissions by 12.9 million tons and securing grants for zero-emission locomotives.
CSX also prioritized employees' well-being by offering paid sick leave to union workers and extensive training for first responders, and committed more than $25 million to support veterans and first responders.
“By investing in and listening to our people, we enhanced value for our customers, industry and communities," said CSX President and CEO Joe Hinrichs in a news release. "Through operational excellence and innovation, we improved service performance, piloted less carbon-intensive fuels and made significant progress toward forging a sustainable future for the rail industry.”
The report also describes CSX's launch of its first-ever hydrogen fuel-cell locomotive in partnership with Canadian Pacific Kansas City, marking a milestone in sustainable freight transportation.
“Prioritizing environmental stewardship, adhering to the highest governance standards and positively impacting the lives of employees and communities are critical foundations of our mission to be the leading supplier of rail-based freight in North America,” said Bryan Tucker, CSX's vice president of stakeholder engagement and sustainability.
