Commitment to the environment

QR is committed to ensuring that rail remains Australia’s most environmentally sound method of large scale transportation. At QR, we are continually researching and investigating ways to reduce our environmental impact and improve the performance of our operations. The effectiveness of these measures can be gauged in part, by independent recognition of QR’s performance as an industry leader in abating greenhouse emissions by winning the Australian Greenhouse Challenge Award in both 2002 and 2005.

The 2003 Reputation Index survey ranked QR at no. 4. for environmental performance and QR was recently announced as a finalist in the 2004 Banksia Awards for QR’s environmental achievements under the Category of ‘Business Environmental Responsibility and Leadership’.
