Reducing emissions across our business and supply chain
At Trainline, we’re committed to leading the transition to a low-carbon economy - not just by encouraging greener travel, but by reducing our own impact, and those of our suppliers too.
Our targets are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), making us one of the first 100 UK companies to achieve this.
Our targets
We’re working to be Net-Zero by 2040 across our full supply chain.
To get there, we’ve set clear, measurable goals:
55.2%
reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030
80%
of suppliers (by emissions) to set science-based targets by 2028
90%
reduction in Scope 1 & 2 by 2040
90%
reduction in Scope 3 by 2040
All measured against a 2020 baseline.
