Train operator Eurostar is one of the leading green options for short-haul travel to Europe.

Why is Friends of the Earth working with Eurostar?

Eurostar places great value on its relationship with Friends of the Earth.

Since 2007, Friends of the Earth has advised Eurostar on its Tread Lightly programme to reduce its environmental impact.

We give Eurostar supportive and objective external advice. We also ensure that its policies, targets and reporting are held to account.

Eurostar is working hard to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per traveller journey by 35% by 2012. And it's aiming to cut wider business and supplier CO2 emissions by 25% by 2015.

To meet these ambitious targets, it's taking action to reduce energy and water usage, source responsibly and minimise waste.

Eurostar supports our work as part of its commitment as a business to act on climate change and encourage others to reduce their carbon footprint.
