Where freight connectivity meets sustainability for a cleaner future
Since 2022 we’ve been supporting a short line rail operator to steer toward a sustainable future. Our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) advisory team has helped this client establish the foundation of its ESG program, collecting baseline data, crafting strategies, and reporting progress to key invested parties.
At the program’s outset, we mapped our client’s existing policies, programs, and data to relevant ESG objectives and industry benchmarks. We also completed their first greenhouse gas emissions inventory and assessed the natural capital of the land under their management.
We developed a strategy to help mature our client’s ESG program over time. In partnership with company leadership, we performed a materiality assessment that included collecting survey data and conducting interviews with internal and external interested parties to identify priority focus areas. Following the materiality assessment, we developed a climate action plan, identifying key emissions reduction projects and science-based targets in line with industry best practice and investor requirements.
With the right tools, data, and resources in place, this rail operator is on track toward a more sustainable future.
