Environmental Awareness

By the very nature of our business, we take our corporate citizenship seriously. We have a high profile in all of our communities, and our business relies on good relationships with the major industries of each community we serve.

Our greatest power to move forward lies in the minds, hearts and hands of our employees, each acting as a crusader for conservation and a cleaner environment.

Our environmental policy requires every employee to understand and comply with environmental requirements on the job. Public agencies and the affected public are to be informed of any incident with the potential to cause environmental harm.

Cooperation is given to all governmental/environmental authorities. All laws and regulations related to protecting the environment and transporting environmentally sensitive materials are to be complied with in full.

Look to Norfolk Southern to deliver tomorrow's high-technology, high efficiency rail transport, riding on parallel tracks of economic strength and environmental awareness.
