Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (G&W) has issued its latest environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, which summarizes the company's efforts in 2022.

Highlights include:
• the development of a greenhouse-gas emissions inventory to help track progress toward achieving G&W's science-based emissions reduction target;
• continued upgrades to North American locomotive fleet to reduce fuel consumption and minimize emissions, plus pilot tests of alternative fuels in the United States and United Kingdom;
• employee engagement groups that target organizational communication and identifying ways to better ensure that all workers — from corporate support to front-liners — have equal access to company information;
• recognition of more than 300 employees for working more than 20 years injury-free and conducting nearly 1,800 safety audits to ensure safe practices across multiple physical working environments; and
• attaining the highest-ever overall customer satisfaction score in a survey of more than 1,400 shippers.

"We’re proud of the progress we have made toward fulfilling our ESG goals," said Michael Miller, CEO for G&W North America. "Creating a more sustainable future for ourselves, our customers and our communities is rooted in several of [our] core values and, moving forward, will be paramount to achieving our core purpose."
