On Feb. 24, Progressive Railroading hosted a virtual summit on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues. A focus for more and more organizations worldwide, ESG “has moved from niche to mainstream to mandatory,” as CN Vice President of Sustainability Janet Drysdale noted in her presentation detailing the Class I’s sustainability practices.
In the presentation, titled "Creating Strategic Value Through Sustainability," Drysdale discussed how ESG is shaping CN's future — how the railroad is "tackling" climate change, aiming to strengthen its safety culture, and embracing diversity and inclusion.
“We think ESG is a tremendous way to engage the workforce,” Drysdale told summit attendees.
Joining Drysdale on the virtual dais were Wabtec Corp. Chief Commercial Officer – Americas Gina Trombley and CSX Director of Fuel Strategy and Utilization Corey Davis.
