The group environmental policy is in place across all our operations. It ensures we comply with legal requirements and follow industry best practice.
Promoting and providing public transport as a less environmentally damaging alternative to many forms of private transport is inherent in our business. We recognise that all vehicle emissions contribute to global warming, and work towards reducing the environmental impact of our operations. We also focus on making efficient use of water and energy.
We are making progress in reducing harmful emissions. Here are some recent activities:
We are investigating the use of different fuels, including ultra-low sulphur diesel, compressed natural gas and palm oil biodiesel, to reduce our environmental impact. Our German operation was the first public transport company in the world to use palm oil biodiesel, in trials involving several trains.
We aim to dispose of waste in ways that minimise harm to the environment. Waste is separated at source and stored until it can be disposed of in the most appropriate and effective way by specialist contractors. This includes recycling, and reducing the amount of waste being sent to landfill sites.
