Other sustainability recommendations.

LTG Group also contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which cover social development, economic growth, environmental protection, and partnership-related objectives. Given the nature of its operations, the Group focuses primarily on six goals where it can make the most significant impact:

Railways are an important part of the country’s economy and transport system. Through the sustainable, safe, and strategic development of its activities, LTG contributes to national and regional economic growth as well as labour market stability. The Group maintains a zero-tolerance approach to corruption and discrimination, while fostering a culture of respect, inclusion, and equal opportunities.

Engagement and collaboration with communities, as well as addressing their interests and concerns, are of great importance to LTG Group’s operations and development. The Group seeks not only to keep communities informed about planned projects, but also to involve them in consultations, encouraging them to share their expectations and needs. LTG also contributes to the implementation of the national sustainable mobility policy and provides sustainable opportunities for intercity travel.

Through its operations, the Group contributes to the development of a circular economy and strives to use environmentally friendly technologies in production and across other stages of its value chain. Waste sorting, reuse, and the responsible use of materials are actively promoted. Energy and other resources are conserved through the implementation of modern innovative technologies, while encouraging responsible behaviour among both employees and customers.
