Railpool has established Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments. They aim to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2021 base year. Furthermore, Railpool commits to an ambitious 90% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2050, also from a 2021 base year, demonstrating a long-term commitment to decarbonisation. These targets, which include a net-zero commitment by 2050, were approved using a streamlined validation route for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).
