Report Marks New Milestone for Sustainability for Railroad IndustryMONTREAL, Nov. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) is pleased to announce its support for the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). CN is the first North American railroad company to formally support the framework, which promotes more effective climate-related financial disclosures, joining more than 1,500 organizations globally. Putting words into action, CN is proud to release its first TCFD report (https://www.cn.ca/en/stories/20200807-fuel-efficiency/). The report outlines the incorporation of climate change risks and opportunities in the management of CN’s business and operations and our commitment towards a more sustainable future.“Our 2019 Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure Report release marks another milestone in our commitment to support the transition to a low-carbon economy. For us, an environmentally sustainable future means thinking and acting in the interests of generations to come. We are working to build a strong environmental legacy of leadership, by means of carbon-efficient operations, conserving resources and protecting and restoring natural ecosystems.” \- JJ Ruest, president and chief executive officer of CN CN’s TCFD report reinforces the Company’s long-standing commitment to transparent disclosure on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) matters through its Delivering Responsibility and CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) reports. CN’s approach to sustainability disclosure aligns with international standards, including the UNGC (United Nations Global Compact), the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), the SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), the UNSDG (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals), and the World Bank Mobility Goals. Through its work with the Railway Association of Canada, CN furthermore supports the Pan Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change.CN continues to lead the North American rail industry in fuel consumption, by consuming approximately 15% less locomotive fuel per gross ton-mile than the average of the Class 1 peers.
