Insights into CSX's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2025, CSX has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2), but not its value chain emissions (Scope 3). This means its reduction efforts currently focus on direct and purchased energy emissions. a
Does CSX have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2025, CSX has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources. a
CSX's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2029, compared to a baseline of 327,528 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2014. a
CSX has already surpassed its operational emissions reduction target, with 2024 levels falling below the 2029 value, achieving its climate goal ahead of schedule. a
CSX's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does CSX have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2025, CSX has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources. a
CSX's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 5,343,341 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2023, by 42% by 2034. a
As of 2024, CSX is on track to meet its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 5.36% of the planned reduction. a
