CALGARY,
AB, June 20, 2023 /CNW/ - Canadian Pacific
Kansas City (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) (CPKC) today launched an updated
carbon emissions calculator for its combined rail network in
Canada, the United States and Mexico.
This innovative web-based tool is designed to give customers
greater insight into the carbon footprint of CPKC's transportation
services by allowing users to estimate the potential greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions reductions they may achieve using CPKC's rail
services compared to long-haul trucking alternatives.
"This calculator supports our customers across North America in making informed decisions on
freight transportation options consistent with their own
climate-related strategies and that benefit the environment," said
Keith Creel, CPKC President and
Chief Executive Officer. "CPKC believes meaningful climate action
includes collaboration, partnerships and engagement with our
customers and other stakeholders. Updating our carbon calculator to
cover our full combined network allows our customers to be engaged
in CPKC's sustainability journey from the start."
Expanding on the individual former Canadian Pacific and Kansas
City Southern carbon emissions calculators, the updated version of
the tool incorporates customer-specific shipping details to
calculate routes across CPKC's rail network and commodity-specific
GHG emissions. The calculator also provides information on highway
safety and other public benefits of shipping with CPKC's freight
rail services.
The carbon emissions calculator is available online through
CPKC's website.
