Our purpose
How we’re making a difference
Rail provides a cleaner, greener alternative to flying and driving. It creates 87% less CO2 emissions than air travel, and 67% less CO2 emissions compared with car travel, per passenger.
That’s why sustainability is fundamental to our purpose. We make travel easier through our technology and data, empowering people to make travel choices that are better for the environment.
We’re always rolling out green features, making it simpler for our customers to access transparent emissions data. And in doing so, we’re helping them to shrink their carbon footprints. Through features like ‘My Sustainability Story’ and ‘Super Routes’, customers can track their own CO2 emissions, choose routes that save time, money and CO2, and see the environmental impact of their travel choices.
Our sustainability team is dedicated to encouraging modal shift; promoting rail as a more sustainable way to travel. In 2022, we launched ‘I Came By Train’, a collective movement to promote the sustainability of rail and drive people to reduce their carbon footprint.
We’re taking urgent action to help limit the rise in global temperatures, by becoming one of the first tech companies to have our ambitious, science-based net-zero targets officially approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Our commitments cover direct emissions from our own operations, and emissions created in our supply chain.
We’re also part of the FTSE4Good Index, which recognises our dedication to sustainable practices and positive corporate behaviour.
A word from our CEO
Jody Ford
It’s such an exciting time to be at Trainline. Every day, I’m energised by the opportunity for growth. As competition takes hold between train operators, we’ll be in the middle of it, helping customers to find the best trains, tickets and fares.
At the heart of everything we do lies our purpose — creating sustainable travel options. We provide customers with more choice and better value, to help inspire them to adventure and ultimately reduce their carbon emissions.
Trainline is more than a workplace, it’s a community who show up as their authentic selves every day. We’re team players who can think big, move fast, innovate, and have a real impact on how people travel. Together we’re shaping the second golden age of rail.
