UIC Sustainability indicators - UIC Sustainability indicators for the railways
Overview
Background & policy context:
Society’s expectations on companies’ environmental and sustainability performance and behaviour are increasing. The market, the decision makers – and the consumers - demand more sustainable products and services as well as proper documentation for performance and continuous improvement. The performance and sustainability indicators were needed to help to map the railway transport.
Objectives:
The objective of the project is to define six key performance indicators for the rail sector on issues such as energy and climate, air pollution and noise. These indicators enable railways to monitor their environmental performance and to compare themselves to other modes of transport. In addition the project provided several supporting indicators and a stepwise approach-guide to the data collection.
In addition a voluntary guideline should be developed for UIC members who have signed the UIC Declaration on Sustainable Mobility & Transport and who now wish to report to their stakeholders on the company’s progress in implementing the sustainability approach and commitments set out in the statements of the Declaration.
