As a leading railcar lessor enabled by rail transportation manufacturing and services in North America, Trinity Industries is committed to supporting a more sustainable future and making meaningful contributions to address our long-term impact.
We are dedicated to integrating sustainability principles, including socially responsible and environmentally conscious corporate practices, grounded in a robust governance framework to ensure we continue operating at the industry's highest standards.
Our sustainability strategy, built with input from our stakeholders, identifies three priority areas:
- Employee Health and Safety
- Energy and GHG Emissions
- Our People and Our Culture of Inclusion
Trinity Industries manages and monitors a wide range of environmental, social, and governance topics. For more information about our actions and progress, please see our most recent Corporate Social Responsibility report.
Employee Health and Safety
We prioritize employee health and safety. At Trinity Industries, we seek to provide a safe and healthy work environment. We maintain comprehensive health and safety policies and procedures and an annual safety training calendar. We take a proactive approach to prevent risks and hold ourselves accountable through audits and annual reporting of targeted metrics.
Trinity Industries was the first railcar manufacturer in North America to achieve ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) certifications. These certifications are updated manually; all manufacturing and maintenance facilities and our corporate headquarters now retain both certifications.

Energy and GHG Emissions
At Trinity, we take our role in contributing to a more resource-efficient economy seriously. Our mitigation strategy aligns with our business objectives, as we focus on managing energy efficiently, sourcing materials for resiliency, and increasing circularity to extend railcar use and reuse.
We closely track, measure, and evaluate our carbon emissions and energy use to understand our impact and identify opportunities for reduction.
We are proud to be in the rail industry. Research repeatedly shows that railcars are a more environmentally friendly way to fuel the North American supply chain. We believe that rail will continue to play a critical role as industries work to reduce emissions.
