Our approach to sustainability is defined by understanding our contribution to society, the economy, and the environment, and what is materially important to our colleagues, our customers, and our stakeholders. A key focus is to prioritise where our efforts can have the biggest positive impact to meet customer needs, levelling up and connectivity, delivering environmental, social, and financial sustainability across TPE operations.
Through this understanding we have developed our strategy in line with the rail industry sustainable development principles and UK policy goals for greener transport and modal shift.
The structure of our strategy sets out our priority areas under four pillars of sustainability:
Carbon and air: this considers our carbon footprint, resilience to climate change and impact on local air quality
Beyond carbon: this is focused on zero waste to landfill, embedding circular economy thinking into our operations; reducing disturbance and impact on water resources, whilst setting out our good for nature ambitions
Our people: this takes forward our goals for a diverse and inclusive workforce that can reach its potential, whilst developing succession plans and competency frameworks through proactive career development opportunities
Our customers and communities: this embeds an approach for ensuring an accessible train service, bringing communities to the heart of our thinking and delivering on a positive contribution to society through social value
Medium to long term objectives with milestone targets are established within this strategy, which will be progressed via actions in our annual sustainable development plan to ensure continual improvement. Progress updates against our targets will be published within our annual sustainability report.
Our objectives and targets continue to be subject to review considering the prevailing Sustainable Rail Strategy for the rail industry.
