Reducing carbon emissions is a national priority with sustainability targets set by the Government – the UK has pledged to be Net Zero by 2050 and reduce carbon emissions by 68% come 2030, and the only major economy to set a 77% target by 2035 (Net Zero Strategy: Build Back Greener – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)).

The rail industry is committed to many important sustainability initiatives and work collaboratively on single-minded messaging around our collective mission. Sustainability is a motivating message to consumers; research shows that when questioned, 78% say that a sustainable lifestyle is important to them (Do consumers care about sustainability & ESG claims? | McKinsey). As the greenest form of public transport, rail is fundamental in the fight against climate change… but not everybody knows this.

The key goal of the campaign is to inspire people to use the rail network for at least one more train journey on a clean, green train.

These campaigns are no longer live or being promoted to public and passengers. However, if you would like to use these resources please ask permission from Network Rail’s marketing team: marketing@networkrail.co.uk
