Sustainable Insights
24/03/2025
The Sustainable Insights toolkit enables us to monitor and report rail industry progress against the goals, ambitions, and milestones of the Sustainable Rail Blueprint.
Our toolkit helps by:
- bringing the industry’s sustainability data together in one place
- creating and sharing intelligence to inform better decision making
- defining the metrics the industry uses to measure sustainability performance
- developing new tools and services to improve rail’s sustainability insights.
The Reporting Tool
To help the industry to 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 database.
- 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.
Future Work
This is only the first step in the Sustainable Insights toolkit. In 2025-26, we will be developing more tools.
First, is the Data Hub. The Data Hub will provide customised data visualisation and analysis using information from the reporting tool and other sources. It will enable collaborative efforts for future data review and analysis.
