Our Luxembourg-based teams are committed to the environment
At ETF, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a strong and long-term commitment. It guides every decision we make, ensuring that social, environmental and economic considerations are fully integrated into our activities. ETF’s Luxembourg office is fully committed to this ambition. Through concrete and measurable actions, it actively contributes to the environmental transition of the rail sector.
Reducing our carbon footprint: concrete and measurable results
In response to the climate challenge and with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, ETF’s Luxembourg office has made reducing its carbon footprint a central focus of its activities.
In 2025, greenhouse gas emissions stood at 1,207 tonnes of CO₂, significantly below the initial target of 1,408 tonnes. This achievement is the result of a collective effort by our teams, through a number of initiatives:
- reducing and optimising business travel, with a strong emphasis on car-sharing;
- adopting best practices in eco-driving, such as systematically switching off vehicles and machinery when they are not in use;
- using renewable energy to power certain activities and facilities.
More sustainable rail solutions
The Luxembourg agency is helping to develop rail infrastructure with a lower environmental impact, in particular through the use of carbon-free rails in track renewal projects. These innovative solutions play a direct part in reducing the carbon footprint of construction sites and in the sustainable modernisation of the Luxembourg rail network. Click here to find out more
Preserving resources and biodiversity
Environmental protection is not limited to carbon emissions. The agency has introduced measures aimed at managing natural resources more effectively, notably through the recycling of construction site waste, optimising water consumption and reporting potential environmental incidents, in order to anticipate and minimise impacts on ecosystems.
The Luxembourg branch is audited in accordance with the échelle de performance CO₂ in order to assess and improve its environmental commitments.
