September 3, 2025 – CSX announced the winners of its 2025 Customer Environmental Excellence Awards, recognizing Diageo, Geocycle LLC, and Chemours for their commitment to reducing carbon emissions and advancing sustainable supply chain solutions through rail transportation.

Now in its fourth year, the annual awards program honors CSX customers who are demonstrating leadership in environmental stewardship by shifting freight from truck to rail, helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions and supporting a cleaner, more sustainable future.

“Rail is the most fuel-efficient way to move freight over land, and when our customers choose CSX, they’re also choosing to reduce their environmental impact,” said Kevin Boone, CSX Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “We’re proud to partner with Diageo, Geocycle, and Chemours, and all of our customers who are making sustainability a priority and taking measurable steps to decarbonize their supply chains.”

Rail transportation can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to trucks, according to data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Together, Diageo, Geocycle and Chemours eliminated over 38,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions by choosing rail. 

To assist customers in making informed decisions about switching to rail transportation, CSX provides an advanced carbon calculator. This tool enables companies to calculate emissions savings for their shipments and gain valuable insights into optimizing supply chain sustainability.
