CSX Transportation and Canadian Pacific Railway have been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North America, reflecting the railroads’ strong scores in environmental, social, governance, and economic measures.
For CSX, the only U.S.-based railroad on the index, it is the 11th consecutive year of being so honored. Canadian Pacific is on the list for the second straight year.
“We are extremely pleased the DJSI continues to recognize CSX as an industry leader in sustainability,” CEO Jim Foote said in a press release. “We remain focused on building upon this success to further expand the sustainability benefits CSX offers to our customers, employees, and other stakeholders. … We continue 
taking action to further reduce emissions for the freight already moving on CSX and are committed to driving additional reductions through converting incremental volumes off the highway and onto CSX.”
The index includes sustainability leaders representing the top 20 percent of the largest 600 North American companies evaluated by S&P Global, selected from a record number of participants in 2021.
“We are proud that DJSI is recognizing CP’s commitment to being a sustainability leader in the transportation sector,” CP CEO Keith Creel, said in a press release. “We continually look for innovative, impactful ways to advance our objectives and to embed sustainability in all levels of our organization.”
The Dow Jones Sustainability Index North America is a partnership between the Dow Jones Indices and RobecoSAM Sustainability Assessments. It measures companies’ commitment to sustainability through analysis of economic, environmental, and governance criteria.
