加拿大太平洋堪薩斯城公司昨天宣布，它承諾制定一個與“1.5攝氏度的未來計劃”相一致的溫室氣體減排目標(biāo)，并支持全球經(jīng)濟在2050年前實現(xiàn)凈零排放。

CPKC官員在一份新聞稿中說，隨著加拿大太平洋公司和堪薩斯城南方公司合并后做出的這一承諾，CPKC加入了科學(xué)目標(biāo)倡議（SBTi）的1.5?C全球運動，其中包括支持全球經(jīng)濟在2050年前實現(xiàn)凈零排放。

"總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官Keith Creel說："這代表了新的CPKC在可持續(xù)發(fā)展道路上的一個重要里程碑。"這項新的承諾建立在已經(jīng)開展的應(yīng)對氣候變化的基礎(chǔ)性工作上，包括我們行業(yè)領(lǐng)先的氫氣機車計劃"。

同時，諾福克南方鐵路公司因其碳減排目標(biāo)和可持續(xù)發(fā)展倡議而被列入《福布斯》2023年凈零領(lǐng)袖榜。

該名單上有100家美國公司，它們 "最有能力在2050年前減少溫室氣體排放并過渡到低碳經(jīng)濟"，NS官員在一份新聞稿中說。福布斯還考慮了一些因素，如公司的氣候治理、戰(zhàn)略和風(fēng)險管理的健全性，以及對競爭實力和財務(wù)狀況的評估。

Canadian Pacific Kansas City yesterday announced its commitment to develop a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target aligned with a 1.5-degree Celsius future and supporting the global economy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

With this commitment, made following the combination of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern, CPKC joins the Science Based Targets initiative's (SBTi) Business Ambition for 1.5?C global campaign, which includes alignment in supporting the global economy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, CPKC officials said in a press release.

"This represents an important milestone in the sustainability journey for the new CPKC," said President and CEO Keith Creel. “This new commitment builds on the foundational work addressing climate change already underway, including our industry-leading Hydrogen Locomotive Program."

Meanwhile, Norfolk Southern Railway has been included among Forbes' Net Zero Leaders 2023 for the company’s carbon reduction goals and sustainability initiatives.

The list features 100 U.S. companies that are “best positioned to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a low-carbon economy by 2050,” NS officials said in a press release. Forbes also considers factors such as the robustness of companies' climate governance, strategy and risk management, as well as an assessment of competitive strength and financial position.
