CSX Announces Customer Environmental Excellence Award Winners
April 21 2023 - 3:55PM
CSX Corp. (NASDAQ: CSX) has recognized the sustainability
achievements of 13 rail customers by naming them 2023 CSX Customer
Environmental Excellence Award winners.
In the second year of the annual awards program, CSX chose
winners in two categories: highway-to-rail conversions and
innovation.
“Freight shippers are increasingly choosing rail transportation
to support a cleaner environment while taking advantage of CSX’s
service reliability and innovative supply chain solutions,” said
Kevin Boone, executive vice president of sales and marketing. “The
CSX Environmental Excellence Awards recognize the efforts of our
customers who are reducing their carbon footprint through
sustainable transportation choices.”
Customers who choose rail over truck transportation can
typically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% to 80%. A typical
CSX freight train can carry the cargo load of 280 trucks and is
three to four times more fuel-efficient than highway
transportation. CSX recently launched an enhanced carbon calculator
that allows companies to determine emissions savings on specific
shipments and gain insight into maximizing supply chain
sustainability.
The 2023 CSX Customer Environmental Excellence Award winners
include companies whose highway-to-rail conversions resulted in
substantial emissions savings during the previous year. In
addition, innovation awards were presented to customers who
demonstrated the greatest environmental ingenuity through their
transportation initiatives. Among those receiving awards are:
Highway-to-rail Conversion Awards
- Ford
- MillerCoors
- National Cement
- Sylvamo North America
- Unilever
- USG Corporation (United States
Gypsum)
Innovation Awards
- Georgia-Pacific, for its announced
Dixie Paper manufacturing facility in Jackson, Tennessee.
- Nucor, for its announced sheet mill
plant in Apple Grove, West Virginia.
CSX is recognized as a transportation industry leader in
sustainability. In 2020, the company became the first railroad in
the United States to align with the Science Based Targets
initiative, setting a goal to reduce GHG emissions intensity by
37.3 percent by 2030, using 2014 as a baseline. The company has
earned a place on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for 12
consecutive years, ranks first among all U.S. transportation and
logistics companies in Newsweek magazine’s list of America’s Most
Responsible Companies, and was the only transportation company on
the Forbes 2021 “Green Growth 50”.
