CALGARY — CPKC has released its 2022 Sustainability Data Report, which separately presents environmental, social, and governance accomplishments of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern in 2022, as well as insights on combined plans for the merged railroads.

The report highlights such events and activities as:

— Canadian Pacific’s hydrogen locomotive program, which saw the first locomotive make its first revenue runs;

The Monarch Butterfly Boxcar tour that involved both railroads;

— The CP Holiday Train and KCS Holiday Express and their fund-raising efforts.

“Operating sustainably is imperative to CPKC’s future growth and long-term success,” CPKC CEO Keith Creel said in a press release announcing the report. “This initial CPKC sustainability data report continues our long-standing practice of transparent sustainability and ESG disclosures. We’re focused on harmonizing our approach to sustainability issues across CPKC and benefiting from a history of sustainability practices and expertise within both legacy companies.”
