Protecting the world in which we operate is essential for fulfilling our corporate responsibility to our people, our customers, our communities, and our investors.

Our footprints trace our steps to sustainability. From our beginnings in the earliest days of American railroading in the 1830s, Norfolk Southern has made great leaps toward environmental responsibility. Just as technology transformed railroad operations, it also made them greener. Today, rail is more vital than ever for our national transportation network and our economic well-being.

Explore this site to see where Norfolk Southern stands in our commitment to corporate responsibility in economic, environmental, and social performance. Our 2011 sustainability report reflects ongoing efforts to achieve a long-term, sustainable balance between the company’s business imperatives and our desire to mitigate the impact of railroad operations on the environment.
