Environment

Gatwick Express has trained an enthusiastic team of employees to be Environmental Champions across our network. These Champions are our eyes and ears on the ground, looking and listening for any environmental issues and communicating good practice to their colleagues.

Govia Thameslink Railway and Network Rail are working together to decarbonise the routes we operate and achieve carbon net zero targets by 2050. Both organisations have created carbon reduction programmes and are working together on joint initiatives and collaborative projects to ensure a whole-system industry approach to tackling climate change.

To do this we will:

• Publish our updated decarbonisation roadmap annually
• Continuously review options for renewable energy installations on our stations and depots
• Develop and launch science-based targets by March 2024
• Convert all lighting to LED where feasible by 2030
• Have all natural gas assets replaced by 2040
• Achieve net zero by 2050
