Sustainable Insights
Our toolkit helps by:
- collating the industry’s sustainability data together in one place
- creating and sharing intelligence to drive data-led decision making
- defining the metrics the industry uses to measure sustainability performance.
Reporting tool benefits
To help the industry make the case for sustainable rail, we have created the Sustainable Insights Reporting Tool. All rail organisations can use it to enter, review, and submit data to the RSSB Insights Platform. The reporting tool has two main benefits:
- it allows operators with rail passenger contracts to submit data to the Department for Transport (DfT).
- the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) can view and export data relevant to annual data collection.
Access the reporting tool
The Sustainable Insights Data Hub
The Sustainable Insights Data Hub is an online, easily accessible platform that is free for members to use. It visualises data gathered via the Sustainable Insights Reporting Tool, and other relevant open access data sources. The hub aims to provide members with company insights and industry benchmarking to drive strategic data-driven decisions, which can be used for future setting of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Pilot Programme
RSSB will be conducting a pilot of the Sustainable Insights Data Hub between April and June 2026. This pilot will ensure the intelligence generated within the tool is driven by member requirements and gives users the most valuable insights for the rail industry. The feedback gathered during this period will inform future enhancements, and ensure the tool supports data-driven decision making and strategic benchmarking effectively.
