How we put CSR into practice
SNCF Group’s second Sustainability Report is now available, published in accordance with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The directive is designed to improve the transparency of companies’ CSR reporting and support the transition to a greener, more inclusive economy.
Key figures
Close to 1.34 million tonnes of CO2e emissions in France. Women at 25.7% of total employees in France. CSR criteria counting for at least 20% of the evaluation score in 86.5% of our procurement spend.
We analyze these figures—and many more—in detail in the report, to provide a comprehensive picture of the Group’s environmental, social and governance performance.
Greater transparency on sustainability
Since the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into force in 2022, European companies—including SNCF Group—have been required to publish comprehensive reports containing sustainability data and ESG indicators. These reports must comply with 12 shared European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
The aim is to encourage companies to take greater responsibility for their environmental and social responsibilities, while providing a harmonized Europe-wide framework for assessing and optimizing their performance.
Turning insight into action
More specifically, this report addresses topics including:
- Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
- Energy management
- Human rights
- Social dialogue
- Ethics and business conduct
For each of these issues, SNCF Group identifies and assesses its impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO).
Going beyond compliance
Preparing and publishing this report gives us an opportunity to identify the environmental and social impacts we cause or experience, and, in doing so, refine our environmental, social and governance strategy. This makes the report an essential tool for improving our CSR performance.
