June 25, 2024 — CSX has been named one of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies for 2024 in TIME Magazine’s inaugural ranking.
To create the list, TIME teamed up with data analytics firm Statista to evaluate more than 5,000 of the world's largest and most influential companies on key data points such as emissions, employee turnover, and work safety. They also considered metrics like CDP scores — a measure of how companies manage their environmental impact — and alignment with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) standards. This rigorous evaluation helped narrow the ranking to the top 500 companies.
CSX was highlighted as the only U.S. Class I Railroad on the list for its commitment to efficiency and supply chain engagement, management and conservation of water resources, and focus on the safety and health of the public, customers, and employees in all aspects of its operations. CSX is also the first railroad in North America to have its emissions intensity goal approved by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 37.3% by 2030.
This recognition underscores CSX’s dedication to minimizing its impact on the environment and the communities in which it operates and validates the company’s efforts to deliver optimal customer service.
