Corporate responsibility

Responsible Growth, Built on Safety and Integrity

We operate safely, ethically and sustainably because how we move freight matters as much as what we move.

Responsible by design

BNSF runs a safe, ethical and sustainable railroad, and we hold ourselves to that standard for the long term. Our Code of Conduct guides every decision we make.
We invest continuously in safety systems, environmental stewardship and strong governance. That work shrinks our environmental footprint, supports our employees and communities and earns the trust of our customers
