Norfolk Southern Corp. is presenting its 2021 Thoroughbred Chemical Safety Award to 48 shippers to recognize their efforts in safely handling the movement of hazardous materials.

The 43 chemical manufacturers and five chemical plants chosen as winners safely transported or originated 100% of their shipments over the railroad’s network without a single incident last year, NS officials said in a press release. The winners are listed here.

CN last week published its 2021 sustainability report data supplement.

The supplement, which builds on the company's 2020 Delivering Responsibly sustainability report, outlines key performance metrics in the areas of environment, safety, people, community and economy.
