Sustainability and Citizenship Goals

Fuel Consumption Rate and GHG Emissions Goal

Reduce our locomotive fuel consumption rate by 1 percent annually from 2011 to 2015, as measured on a gross-ton mile basis, resulting in greenhouse gas emissions reduction of 1 percent annually.*

Union Pacific’s culture of innovation means we strive to find new ways to serve our customers, communities and employees. We work to grow our business profitably and responsibly by focusing on safety, environmental stewardship, employee development, community investment and economic growth. Specifically, our goals are to:

  • Operate a safe, efficient and environmentally responsible rail network that supports the highest levels of customer service.
  • Provide employees with the safest work environment in the industry.
  • Constantly improve employee, customer and public safety through training, education and investment.
  • Develop employee programs and processes that make us an employer of choice.
  • Invest in our network infrastructure to enhance service, productivity and safety.
  • Grow our business profitably and responsibly in order to invest in future growth and make a positive impact on our communities, customers and shareholders.

Zeroing in on Safety

No injury is acceptable. That’s why we won’t budge on our ultimate goals:

  • Zero employee injuries
  • Zero trespasser incidents
  • Zero vehicle grade crossing accidents
  • Zero train derailments

*Using 2000 as a benchmark, attaining our fuel consumption rate goal would represent a 23 percent fuel-efficiency increase over the five-year span.
