The certificates calculate CO2 emissions saved, comparing rail freight with road transport. By factoring in cargo weight, distance, and geocoordinates, businesses receive accurate metrics on their environmental impact. This data helps companies enhance sustainability reports and meet ESG commitments.

Etihad Rail’s Role in Climate Action

Etihad Rail plays a vital role in advancing UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategy through these certificates. Businesses using rail transport not only align with UAE regulations but also attract environmentally conscious stakeholders, boosting their corporate image.

Omar Alsebeyi, Executive Director of Commercial & Performance at Etihad Rail, emphasized the company’s dedication to sustainability. He stated that this initiative empowers businesses to reduce their carbon footprint while leveraging rail’s efficiency.

Looking ahead, Etihad Rail plans to transport 60 million tons of cargo annually by 2030, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. This transition will take thousands of trucks off the roads, making logistics greener and more sustainable.

By introducing these certificates, Etihad Rail reinforces its position as a leader in sustainable transport solutions, driving transformative progress for the UAE.
