Corporate Social Responsibility at GWR

Our services are a vital part of society – transporting customers for business, education, health, social or leisure purposes. We are committed to help deliver a more sustainable future for the communities we serve accelerating the transition to a zero carbon world. We recognise the success of our business depends on effective management of safety, health, environment, energy, carbon reduction, people and responsible sourcing. Our approach is based around eight key sustainability themes.

• Supporting our communities
• Driving economic growth
• Energy and carbon conscious
• Environmental responsibility
• Our people
• Health, safety and wellbeing
• Diverse supply chain
• Innovation

We are working hard to ensure sustainability is embedded at the heart of our business, we want to understand our material impacts and what matters to our stakeholders. We want to put rail at the centre of our communities because the services we provide are critical to delivering wider economic, social and environmental goals. We have a clear social purpose providing easy and convenient mobility and improving quality of life by connecting people and communities. As society seeks to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic to ‘Build Back Better’, we know we play a key role in providing low carbon sustainable journeys across our network.
