CSX Improves to Highest Rating by CDP for Environmental Leadership
December 08 2020 - 10:17AM
CSX (NASDAQ: CSX) improved to the highest possible A rating for
leadership in corporate sustainability by CDP, an independent,
global non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing
sustainable business practices. CSX was the top U.S.-based class I
railroad in this year’s ranking.
For the eighth consecutive year, CSX achieved “Leadership”
status in CDP’s prestigious annual rankings, which scored 5,800
companies’ efforts to address climate change. This year, CSX
improved to the “A List” rating for its actions to cut emissions,
mitigate climate risks and help increase corporate transparency.
This ranking places CSX in the top 5% of survey respondents
globally.
“CSX is proud to be recognized by CDP for our sustainable
business practices,” said Nathan Goldman, executive vice president
and chief legal officer. “In addition to contributing to greenhouse
gas reductions and addressing climate change, CSX’s commitment to
advance environmental sustainability supports our company’s
business strategy.”
CDP is a global non-profit that drives companies and governments
to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, safeguard water resources
and protect forests. Over 9,600 companies with over 50% of global
market capitalization disclosed environmental data through CDP in
2020. This is in addition to the hundreds of cities, states and
regions who have disclosed, making CDP’s platform one of the
richest sources of information globally on how companies and
governments are driving environmental change. CDP’s annual
environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized
as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency.
