September 20 2017 - 10:00AM
CSX (Nasdaq:CSX) was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index
for North America for the seventh consecutive year, recognizing the
company’s leadership in sustainable and responsible business
practices. CSX was the only U.S.-based railroad and one of only
three transportation companies included on the North American index
in 2017.
“With increasing consumer demand, the need for
freight rail as a safe, reliable and sustainable transportation
solution is ever more pressing,” said E. Hunter Harrison, president
and chief executive officer. “As the most fuel-efficient mode of
freight transportation on land, rail will continue to enable
significant emission reductions and help drive economic
prosperity.”
CSX was recognized for high performance in
corporate governance, supply chain management and corporate
citizenship and philanthropy, as well as in several areas of
environmental performance including environmental policy and
management systems, fuel efficiency and operational
eco-efficiency.
“By building on the foundation of our Precision
Scheduled Railroading operating model, CSX is well-positioned for
the future,” said Harrison. “This transformational operating model
delivers more reliable, more consistent freight rail service which
promotes sustainability and creates lasting value for customers,
shareholders, employees and communities in which CSX operates.”
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
