Warehouse locations committed to climate action

As a leading rail logistics provider in Europe, we support climate action projects beyond our day-to-day core business. To this end, we calculate the greenhouse gas emissions of our warehouse locations in Lenzing and Vienna Freudenau and make financial contributions to certified climate action projects through ClimatePartner.

Which greenhouse gas emissions are recorded for this purpose?

We record all greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Scope 1: direct emissions from the vehicle fleet and heating gas
  • Scope 2: indirect emissions from purchased energy such as electricity and district heating
  • Scope 3: indirect emissions from business travel, employee mobility and operational waste

Since the end of 2021, Rail Cargo Group has been supporting certified climate action projects through ClimatePartner. According to the available project documentation, the supported projects have contributed to emission reductions, avoided emissions or CO₂ removals amounting to a total of 1,660 tonnes of CO₂. 

The level of financial support was based on the greenhouse gas emissions determined for the Lenzing and Vienna Freudenau warehouse locations for the years 2020 to 2025.
