About Us
The Climate is Right for Trains
Rail is the most sustainable mode of transit. For every passenger-km shifted from road to rail transport, 70% of the emitted CO2 would be avoided. As the global leader in rail technology, we view it as our corporate responsibility to maximize the environmental benefits of rail travel. That's why we have put sustainable mobility at the heart of our design, engineering and operating philosophy. Our key business goals for sustainability include:
- Being profitable, while delivering safe and competitive products to our customers
- Optimizing the environmental performance of our vehicles
- Leaving to the next generations an environment unspoiled by our industry activities and products, to the best of our ability
- Being a preferred employer by providing interesting, healthy and safe working places
- Transferring best practices and knowledge, especially in less industrialized countries where we have a presence.
We have demonstrated our commitment to sustainability through concrete action, and reported on it transparently.
