description
At CN we are focused on conducting our operations in a manner that protects the natural environment. We are committed to respecting applicable laws and regulations and we take the necessary measures to prevent pollution, reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, conserve natural resources and protect ecosystems. Since 2005, we have reduced our rail locomotive GHG emission intensity by 14%, and continue to lead the rail industry in fuel efficiency, consuming close to 15% less fuel per gross-ton-mile than the industry average. CN’s EcoConnexion’s Program also encourages environmental values and initiatives among CN employees across North America, with a focus on environmental action and stewardship. The program was launched in 2011 in partnership with Earth Day Canada and includes targeted reductions in energy consumption, waste management and improved housekeeping practices at our yards and offices. In 2012, CN launched EcoConnexions - From the Ground Up in partnership with Communities in Bloom and Tree Canada, with the objective to promote the greening of municipal properties across Canada, especially in communities along its rail lines. To date, over 400,000 trees have been planted in municipalities across Canada and the U.S. as well as through mass forestation projects. In May 2014, the EcoConnexions program was extended as a pilot project to customers, where several intermodal customers were invited to participate in a survey and answer questions related to their organization’s sustainability, environmental and social responsibility policies and actions. The goal of the program is to deepen relationships with valued customers and learn from each other as we continue to reduce our impact on the environment. The survey results were reviewed by The Delphi Group, a consulting firm specializing in climate change and corporate sustainability. 11 winners are announced as part of CN’s 2014 EcoConnexions Partnership Program: CMA-CGM, Cosco, Hapag Lloyd, Kruger Products, Maersk Line, MOL, Mondelēz Canada, NYK, OOCL Canada, Target Canada and Walmart Canada. CN is proud to partner with environmentally responsible customers who share our commitment of preserving and protecting the environment. A tree planting ceremony is planned for next Spring, where 110,000 trees will be planted in recognition of our EcoConnexion Partners’ commitment to sustainable business practices and energy efficiency.
