Case Study: Network Rail embeds sustainability into its Great Western Modernisation Programme with Action Sustainability

Network Rail Embeds Sustainability into Great Western Modernisation Programme

Network Rail, the UK's railway infrastructure manager, faced the challenge of embedding a robust sustainability strategy into its complex and evolving Great Western Route Modernisation Programme. Action Sustainability was engaged to provide consultancy services to set this strategy and integrate it into the project's everyday operations and supply chain.

Action Sustainability embedded a team of consultants within Network Rail's team for four years. They developed and implemented a comprehensive sustainability strategy, embedding it into procurement through Sustainable Delivery Plans and providing extensive training. The results included a clear strategic focus, a Green Apple Award for carbon saving, far-reaching biodiversity ambitions, and a lasting legacy of trained personnel and robust processes for future delivery.
