CSX Recognized by Dow Jones Sustainability Index
November 18 2020 - 2:15PM
CSX continues to build its reputation in sustainability, earning a
place on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) North America
for the 10th consecutive year with across-the-board improvement in
environmental, social, governance and economic scores.
In addition to being the only U.S. railroad to make the DJSI,
CSX is ranked among the top 15 transportation and transportation
infrastructure companies worldwide. A record 102 companies were
assessed for this year’s global index.
“Being ranked among the most sustainably run transportation
companies in the world is an affirmation of the actions we’re
taking to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions through
technology and increasingly efficient operations,” said Jim Foote,
president and chief executive officer.
The company’s efficiency improvements as well as high scores in
key areas of business conduct, environmental policy and management
systems, and operational eco efficiency contributed to driving
improvement across DJSI’s assessment areas: governance and
economic, environmental, and social dimensions. CSX continues to
drive innovation across these important ESG themes.
“Our commitment to sustainability is good for us, for our
customers and for society,” Foote said. “It supports our strategy
of working with customers to convert more freight from highway to
rail, which reduces highway congestion and wasteful emissions.”
The DJSI North America index is a partnership between the Dow
Jones Indices and RobecoSAM Sustainability Assessments, which
tracks the leading sustainability-driven companies based on an
analysis of financially material economic, environmental and
governance criteria. To learn more about sustainability at CSX,
