Sustainability

As a leading provider of railway infrastructure, we invest and pour our hearts into promoting sustainable mobility. We consider sustainability to be a holistic approach that is oriented towards the equal promotion of Ecological, Social and Economic perspectives.

As a guidance in providing us with a broad framework for fairer and more sustainable global development, we use the 17 Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) as defined by the United Nations (UN).

Critical bottom-line questions we address:

  • What kind of future are we leaving for the next generation?
  • How to be environmentally responsible
  • How to be resource-efficient
  • How to implement a holistic life-cycle oriented approach – from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and demolition.

Our Sustainability Development Goals

Setting goals is not just good business practice but is also a way in which we provide for future challenges. The Sustainability Development Goals of the United Nations are a valuable and comprehensive collection of 17 intertwined objectives with which we align ourselves and intend to ensure a sustainable and just future.

Rhomberg Rail has embarked on a journey of assessing all vital processes and has questioned, optimized and challenged the current procedures and is committed to address the following SDGs:

The railway greatly contributes to sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility. That is why we at Rhomberg Rail already reduces our strain on resources as early as the track construction phase and reduce our impact on the climate. By joining the Climate Neutrality Alliance 2025, it will be possible to track and offset our CO2 emissions through social and ecological contributions in the wider society.
