Environmental management
Russian Railways, as a major natural resource user in the country, contributes to solving national environmental objectives. We recognise the vital importance of the environmental agenda and implement both short‑term initiatives, including projects to respond to acute environmental exposures, and long‑term infrastructure programmes with delayed effects.
Regarding the environmental agenda, Russian Railways collaborates with federal executive authorities, businesses, regions, large and medium corporates, local communities, and local residents as a whole. Joint efforts are designed to support a favourable environmental situation and sustainable use of natural resources, enhance environmental safety in the regions of operation, and foster an environmental culture among the Company employees and their families.
Russian Railways’ strategic environmental goal is to minimise the impact of the Company’s operations on the environment, ensure sustainable use of natural resources, and enhance environmental safety.
Russian Railways maintains leadership in energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of its operations.
