Yesterday, CN announced a five-year partnership agreement with Earth Day Canada (EDC) under which the national environmental charity will support a CN program aimed at encouraging environmental values and initiatives among employees.

To be implemented at CN’s North American CN offices and yard facilities, the program will be designed to “motivate, encourage and enable employees” to embrace environmental stewardship; leverage CN and EDC environmental resources and best practices; reduce natural resource consumption and waste; and recognize and promote sustainability gains in the workplace, CN officials said in a prepared statement.

“We are fully committed to reducing our impact on the environment. Energy efficiency has been a key element of our business model for years, positioning us to increase productivity and reduce energy consumption,” said Paul Miller, CN's chief safety and sustainability officer. “We will harness EDC's support and expertise to enable CN employees to expand their environmental understanding and initiatives to help reduce the impact of local workplaces on the environment.”
