S& P 500 hits all time highs U.S.-Japan trade deal optimism
Investing.com -- Shares of FirstGroup climbed 2% today after the company unveiled its first Climate Transition Plan, a comprehensive strategy aimed at reducing its carbon footprint.
The plan, which aligns with the Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT) Disclosure Framework, outlines FirstGroup’s approach to decarbonisation and emphasizes its role in promoting public transportation as a sustainable alternative.
The report released by FirstGroup showcases the company’s ongoing efforts in decarbonisation and its commitment to sustainability as a bus and rail operator. By providing services that encourage a shift from individual car use to public transport, FirstGroup is positioning itself as a key player in the transition to a lower-carbon future.
Analysts at RBC have highlighted the environmental benefits of public transport operators like FirstGroup, stating, "We view public transport operators as inherently environmentally-friendly businesses since they facilitate travel by bus, coach and train, which involves significantly lower emissions than travel by car, taxi or plane."
They also commended FirstGroup’s leadership in bus electrification and its progress toward emissions targets, adding, "We think there is greater scope for FirstGroup to gain greater credit for this, from investors and UK central/local government," and "welcome the publication of the Climate Transition Plan."
