THOROUGHBRED SUSTAINABILITY
PARTNER AWARDS

Norfolk Southern's Thoroughbred Sustainability Partner Awards is an annual opportunity to recognize our customers and suppliers who are leaders in sustainability. The awards recognize achievements in three achievement pillars:

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The Energy Efficiency Award is intended to recognize corporate programs achieving energy efficiency savings. Submissions should emphasize quantitative savings and results rather than qualitative indicators.

INNOVATION

The Innovation Award is intended to recognize technology innovations that have significantly contributed to a more sustainable future. Submissions must demonstrate how these innovations are novel, relevant, and impactful:

  • Novel: the innovation must have been developed, implemented, or have measurable impact in the last year.
  • Relevant: the innovation needs to be primarily related to sustainability and be relevant to the transportation sector.
  • Impactful: the innovation needs to have clear, quantitative evidence that can be cited to demonstrate the sustainability impact.

  • Novel: some portion of the stewardship activity must have occurred in the last year.
  • Relevant: the stewardship activity must be relevant to the transportation sector.
  • Impactful: the stewardship needs to represent on-going activity and have clear, quantitative evidence that can be cited to demonstrate the sustainability impact.
