Here is some interesting context on requiring CN and CP to do climate reporting:
Canada’s railroads endorse climate proposals in rare support for shareholder activism - The Logic
Shareholders of CN and CP will vote on a U.K. hedge-fund billionaire’s climate proposal at their annual general meetings this monththelogic.co
From when they were first proposed:
Large railway shareholder seeks CN, CP climate plans and strategies to cut emissions
One of the largest shareholders of Canada's two main railways is calling on them to present climate plans at their upcoming annual meetings and strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.www.ctvnews.ca
Not really surprising. Rail is by far the most environmentally friendly way of transporting goods. Climate reporting will only highlight this and new technologies implemented to save them money will further reduce their carbon footprint. It also gives them a strong argument to keep passenger trains off of their main lines.
