When it comes to corporate sustainability, Wabtec has a three-pronged approach that includes:
We are committed to developing responsible and sustainable products that minimize our impact on the planet.
We are committed to providing work environments and products that enable productive and efficient use of resources.
We are committed to driving an inclusive culture grounded in integrity, committed to the development of and investment in the 社区 where our teams live and work.
These material topics are at the core of our sustainability strategy, as they have the highest relative priority to Wabtec and external stakeholders, and directly align with our action plans and key performance indicators highlighted throughout the 2023年可持续发展报告.
Awarded to companies with an ESG performance above the sector-specific Prime threshold, which means that they fulfill ambitious absolute performance requirements.
The impacts of climate change affect many aspects of our global society and economy. The Wabtec 气候报告 presents our strategy for addressing climate-related impacts relevant to our business. This disclosure is aligned with recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This climate report aims to provide our shareholders 以及其他利益相关者 with a high-level overview of the climate-related physical and transition risks to which Wabtec may be exposed, in addition to a review of potential climate-related opportunities. The report also includes our new climate commitments, which demonstrate how we plan to continue to create sustainable value for our stakeholders and shareholders.
We have aligned our operational framework with the Paris Agreement and its science-based goal of limiting the Earth’s temperature increase to less than 1.5摄氏度. Demonstrating our commitment to continuous improvement along our sustainability journey, we replaced our original greenhouse gas (GHG) and energy intensity goals with an absolute emissions goal to reduce our 范围1及2 emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline. We have made tremendous progress toward that target, accomplishing 35% reduction in 2022.
Wabtec’s most relevant category of 范围3 GHG emissions is Category 11: Use of Sold Products, at more than 97% of Wabtec’s estimated total 范围3 emissions. 在这个类别中, the largest source of GHG emissions is from our 客户’ use of our freight locomotives. A modal shift to rail will enable a significant reduction in GHG emissions world wide despite Wabtec’s increase in 范围3 absolute emissions from manufacturing additional locomotives. As global freight volumes increase 和更多的 goods are transported by rail, the demand for locomotives is expected to increase. 然而, the overall emissions reduction benefits from shifting to rail — a more energy efficient and safer mode of transportation — would greatly exceed the change in Wabtec’s own 范围3 absolute emissions. 此外, adoption by our 客户 of Wabtec’s next-generation technologies — such as our biofuel and battery locomotives, 我们的数字解决方案, and our future hydrogen-powered locomotives — will drive further reductions in our 客户’ 范围1及2 emissions and Wabtec’s 范围3 emissions intensity.
In 2022, Wabtec joined the 联合国全球契约, demonstrating our existing and ongoing commitment to the universal sustainability principles promoted by the organization.
Acting on our 可持续性 strategy requires engagement with stakeholders and thought leaders outside of our organizational envelope. As a leading player in both the passenger and freight rail sectors and a storied company with more than 150 years of experience driving innovation, 我们相信Wabtec, has an obligation to engage in dialogue and drive collaboration. Below is a brief snapshot of how we, 作为一个企业, are stepping into leadership and concurrently staying close to industry thought leaders that will help us to advance.
Wabtec is working alongside academic institutions and industry partners, to support the Ministry of Infrastructure (MINFRA) as they work to define the necessary infrastructure (equipment, 实验室, 工具, 等.) for the Railway Technology Excellence Center , an innovation center designed to drive research and development for the 巴西ian rail sector.
Wabtec has served 中国’s Qinghai-Tibet Railway (QTR), the highest railway in the world, 15年来. QTR has 78 NJ2 locomotives that are covered a by multi-year Master 服务 Agreement (MSA). 在此MSA下, Wabtec is responsible for the overall operation of the fleet, and provides holistic maintenance and services, which eliminates the customer's need to invest in maintenance and shop facilities. This is a unique and innovative service model in the Chinese rail industry, 在传统上, operators manage service and maintenance processes on their own.
This arrangement has been a game changer. Not only does it provide reliable fleet operation, but it also adds value through improved maintenance quality processes, 店铺操作经验, vendor managed parts and materials, 故障诊断功能, 和更多的. 中国 Railways recognizes the cost-effectiveness and efficiencies this service model provides and hopes to adopt it across more of its expansive rail network.
Wabtec's team in 中国 is working closely with operators and authorities to explore these opportunities in an effort to achieve optimal railway operations, and ultimately to reshape how the Chinese rail industry manages its operations and services.
In 2021, Wabtec officially joined 欧洲’s Rail Joint Undertaking (ERJU) as a founding member. A follow-up to the Shift2Rail initiative, ERJU is a partnership between 欧洲’s major railway stakeholders that aims to create a more modern and sustainable 欧洲an railway system.
"This is an important milestone for the entire 欧洲an railway ecosystem and all Wabtec teams are proud to be part of this program. Wabtec has a strong presence in 欧洲, with nearly 9000 员工. We file patents and develop high-tech products every day here. As such we believe that we can help the attractiveness of rail in 欧洲 and contribute to the 欧洲an target of CO2 减排.” - 保罗Pagliero, Group Vice President, Engineering for Wabtec 交通
The National Rail Plan (NRP) of the 印度n Railways establishes an aggressive goal to become a net-zero carbon footprint operator by 2030. Electrification of the rail network and reliance on generation of solar energy are among the major strategies that will be used to achieve this goal. A supplier of diesel-electric locomotives that are made in 印度, Wabtec is also concurrently working with the 印度n Railways accelerate the pace of electrification. Our plants in Baddhi and Hosur directly supply components for electric locomotives, 即E70制动系统. 支持NRP, high reach pantographs designed for the dedicated Freight Corridors, the next generation computer-controlled brake panel system and a potential battery electric locomotive strategy will all support the IR’s strategic plan.
To accelerate the transition to cleaner technology in the rail sector, Wabtec seeks strategic partnership along its value chain that allow the company to leverage its internal capacity and strengths most effectively.
