This is Norfolk Southern’s fifth annual corporate sustainability report.
It discloses the railroad’s significant environmental, economic, and social impacts to provide stakeholders a way to assess our commitment to corporate sustainability.
Our stakeholders include shareholders, customers, employees, government and industry partners, and the communities we serve.
The report reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to achieve balance between our business imperatives and our desire to mitigate the environmental impacts of railroad operations.
We strive to deliver top-notch service to customers and earn a solid return for shareholders, while respecting the interests of employees, communities, and the environment with which we are connected.
Our long-term success as a company requires that we meet our present business needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
