CIÉ and Sustainability

At CIÉ Group, sustainability is at the heart of our strategy and our overarching goal is to drive a sustainable business. With the support of our stakeholders the Department of Transport (DoT) and the National Transport Authority (NTA), we aim to meet the national targets set out in the Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2023 and support the objectives of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

The CIÉ Group sustainability strategy is a plan of action centred around the three pillars of sustainability: social, economic, and environmental. Our targets and sustainability initiatives are framed within ten action areas, spanning topics such as biodiversity, diversity and equal opportunity, and energy efficiency.

To ensure a holistic and global view of sustainability we have designed our strategy to align with the UN SDGs and Irish and European Union (EU) climate policy.
