The revision follows a validation of c2c’s sustainability targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in May 2024. Stuart Browning, c2c’s Safety, Sustainability & Compliance Director, stated, “Following ongoing discussions and a thorough review of our decarbonisation strategy, we have revisited our original net zero target of 2050 and will bring it forward 10 years (to 2040) in line with our owning group’s plans.”

We remain fully focused on providing the people of East London and south Essex with a safe, sustainable and efficient railway”.
c2c aims to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its entire value chain by the fiscal year 2040. The company’s focus remains on providing a safe, sustainable and efficient railway service to the residents of East London and South Essex.
