On Track Together

At Greenbrier, our commitment to all our stakeholders demands that we conduct ourselves according to the highest ethical standards and carefully consider how we impact the environment and our communities.

Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reports show how our five ESG priority areas—Safety, People, Environmental Sustainability, Governance & Ethics and Communities—drive our business decisions toward a more sustainable future.

These priorities reflect Greenbrier’s core values, supporting everything we do and every decision we make since our founding over 40 years ago.

Safety

Employee safety is a core value at Greenbrier, and our employees are Greenbrier’s strongest safety champions. Together we take steps to reduce risks by improving working conditions, utilizing and obtaining appropriate tools and delivering training on how to minimize workplace risks.

This year, we:

  • Achieved the Company’s best-ever Total Recordable Incident and DART rates at 1.09 and 0.75, respectively
  • Exceeded 15 months without an injury at Greenbrier Marmaduke
  • Achieved major safety milestones at several of our railcar maintenance facilities, including injury-free periods at six sites across the United States

Environmental Sustainability

We’re committed to improving our sustainability performance, both by reducing our environmental footprint and by meeting or exceeding the ecological requirements in the countries where we operate. We maintain an Environmental Management System that ensures our adherence to local and national regulations in communities where we operate. 

This year, we:

  • Established a greenhouse gas reduction goal to reduce Scope 2 GHG emissions by 20% over the next five years
  • Committed to hosting a 2° Celsius or lower planning event by 2030
