The Sustainability & Net Zero Person or Team Award celebrates those who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the environment, climate action, and achieving net-zero.

In an era where ecological concerns are paramount, the award honours those who have taken extraordinary steps to reshape practices, policies, and perspectives, forging a path toward a greener future.

Green Travel Pledge at Rail Delivery Group (RDG), came away with prize at this year’s RailStaff Awards. The Green Travel Pledge is a rail industry initiative to provide detailed, accurate, and reliable carbon emissions data at the point of sale, to help businesses demonstrate the environmental benefits of switching to rail for business travel.

RDG aims to empower businesses and business travellers to choose rail as a green option over more polluting methods. Its team has worked tirelessly to create an industry benchmark for carbon measurement of business journeys by rail.

“The award for Sustainability & Net Zero Person or Team of the year is an amazing achievement for Green Travel Pledge, which is a rail industry initiative commissioned on behalf of the business travel industry and community,” said RDG’s Leigh Percy. It is a great step forward in sustainability in rail for the future.”
