CDP rating - RCG achieves ‘B’ in climate protection

For the third time in a row, the Rail Cargo Group, the sustainable logistics backbone of the European economy, has achieved a ‘B’ in the CDP ranking. The ‘Carbon Disclosure Project’ is one of the world's most renowned environmental ratings. It is an international, non-profit organisation that rates companies, cities, regions and countries according to environmental transparency and environmental measures.

First-class results despite increasing requirements

In 2024, a total of 24,800 companies published their environmental data in order to receive a CDP rating, including RCG. Although the requirements for the rating have continued to increase, RCG was able to impress with its climate-related figures. Improvements were achieved in the categories Governance (A-), Emissions reduction initiatives and low carbon products (B) and Scope 3 emissions (A-). As an overall result in the area of climate protection, RCG received a B rating. This is well above the global average (C). A new addition is a separate questionnaire for water security, for which the RCG also achieved a good result (B-). Here too, the RCG is above the global average (C).

Strengthening sustainable freight transport

As one of the leading rail logistics providers in Europe, the Rail Cargo Group shapes the industry 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Together with other leading European rail freight companies, the RCG is committed to shifting 30% of freight volumes to environmentally friendly rail transport by 2030, thereby strengthening sustainable freight transport.
