However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The company has not disclosed any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other significant climate initiatives. Overall, while Angel Trains has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action within the rail industry.
