Porterbrook has once again earned the title of Transport Sector Leader as part of the annual GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) assessment, achieving a top score of 100/100 and a five-star rating.

The rolling stock company’s efforts and continuing commitment to sustainability matters, key initiatives under its inclusion and diversion strategy, alongside emission reduction targets, have played a vital role in achieving such an impressive score.

GRESB Assessments see information collected regarding a company’s ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) performance alongside its best sustainability practices for real estate, infrastructure funds, companies and global assets.

The assessment provides a clear view for a company regarding complex sustainability matters, as well as to financial markets.

Sebastien Roussotte, CEO of GRESB said:

“GRESB Sector Leaders embody the industry’s champions, leading the charge towards a net-zero future and propelling the sector forward. We wholeheartedly commend this year’s Sector Leaders for their dedication, leadership and commitment to ESG principles and sustainability,”

Mary Grant, Porterbrook CEO, said

“To maintain a 100% score and five-star rating is a great accomplishment. It demonstrates the ongoing commitment of the teams across all our sites to continuously review and improve our ESG performance while encouraging and supporting the railway to embrace a net zero future.”
