The Sustainable Rail Blueprint launched in November 2023. It’s industry’s framework for realising sustainable rail. Co-created by RSSB and stakeholders across the rail industry, the Blueprint provides a whole-industry view up to 2050. 

Across 11 sustainable rail topics, the Blueprint presents six common solutions to enable sustainable rail. It also explores the key roles various industry players must take to deliver sustainable rail.

What does this accolade mean for us?

This recognition of the Blueprint is a big milestone. It’s a testament to industry’s hard work and dedication. And it validates our commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Being shortlisted for this award highlights our leadership in this area and speaks to our ability to drive meaningful change. It also brings increased visibility to industry’s sustainability initiatives, encouraging others to adopt similar strategies and embed greener practices.

Our dedication to sustainability

RSSB plays a key role in advancing sustainability within the rail industry. Guided by the Blueprint, we’re committed to ensuring that rail remains the leading mode of sustainable transport in Great Britain. 

Our strategy sets ambitious long-term goals to:

  • reduce emissions
  • protect the environment
  • promote social sustainability.

As well as leading on the Blueprint, we’re:

  • running an e-learning course to support the realisation of sustainable rail
  • developing a range of tools to help organisations measure the impact of their sustainability initiatives
  • launching a new Sustainable Insights platform to monitor and report on rail industry progress against the Blueprint.

Through all of these efforts, we’re helping to create a more sustainable future for the rail industry.

Please join us in wishing our team the best of luck for the award ceremony in March 2025.
