Corporate social responsibility
The CFL Group's environmental and social commitment is also reflected in the responsible choice of its purchases and services. CFL strives to reduce the actual and potential negative impact of its own activities on human rights and the environment, as well as those of its commercial partners.
For this reason, the Group has published a Supplier Code of Conduct which sets out the principles and requirements, particularly in terms of respect for safety, workers' rights, human rights, the environment and ethics, which are essential to the Group in its cooperation with its suppliers.
CFL has also reaffirmed its commitment to human rights by signing the National Business and Human Rights Pact in July 2022. In particular, it is committed to preventing and managing human rights risks in the context of its purchasing by drawing up a human rights risk map.

CFL aims to be a group with a human face. The company's strategy is customer-focused and gives a special place to its employees (the "WE"). The Group's objectives are achieved through dialogue, taking into account the well-being and developing the know-how of its staff. In line with its values (cooperation, openness, respect, excellence and exemplarity), the Group is committed to employment, employability and professional training, as well as diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities.
The CFL Group attaches particular importance to diversity and equal career opportunities for all its employees. It is a signatory of the IMS (Inspiring More Sustainability) Luxembourg Diversity Charter, as well as the "Women in Rail" agreement (November 2021). In order to honour its commitments, CFL has published a Gender Equality Policy and developed a multi-year action plan covering several areas: specific areas: recruitment and career development, reconciling private and professional life, health and safety at work and the working environment, as well as the prevention of sexual harassment and sexism. The Group is also committed to the Positive Actions approach of the MEGA (Ministry of Gender Equality and Diversity).

As a responsible company, CFL integrates its corporate responsibility approach into its business strategy and activities. However, its positive impact also extends beyond customers and employees to society as a whole, the local community and voluntary and cultural organisations.
As part of its "We Care" approach, the Group supports partner initiatives and associations: through collections and donations; by giving visibility to initiatives; by supporting cultural and/or artistic projects and projects aimed at the inclusion of people in difficulty.
In this context, the Group promotes the social commitment of its staff by developing partnerships with supported associations and, more generally, by giving them the opportunity to do voluntary work.

It is also committed to raising awareness among its staff in order to encourage them to develop and implement concrete actions in their professional and personal lives. It offers its staff the opportunity to take part in the Climate Fresk and the Biodiversity Fresk.
The Group is also playing its full part in the national energy-saving efforts called for by the government as part of the 'Zesumme spueren - Zesummenhalen' campaign (September 2022).

As a key player in mobility in Luxembourg, the CFL group aims at promoting more responsible, sustainable and inclusive mobility through the provision of public transport services, as well as freight transport (rail and river).
The Group is improving rail links between towns and cities by developing Park&Rail (P&R) facilities at the country's main stations. Through its Flex carsharing solution, the Group promotes the responsible use of private cars. The Group strives to make its services accessible to all, by making them free of charge (as far as passenger services are concerned), and by implementing measures to help people with reduced mobility (PRMs) on its network.
Last, CFL is also concerned about the mobility of its employees by implementing measures aimed at optimizing and increasing the efficiency of travel linked to the company's activity, in particular that of its staff - mostly from an environmental point of view.
