What if railway manufacturers could better value their CSR expertise in tendering? It is the reflection, led by Jean de la Chapelle (Colas Rail), that FIF carried last year: companies in the sector invest, innovate, develop low-carbon solutions, but still struggle to make these efforts recognized in the markets. How can I change that? By going to build the dialogue directly with those who place the orders. This is how a co-construction work has emerged between the FIF and the main contractors Société des grandes projets, SNCF Réseau, RATPgroup in connection with the syntec-Ingénie professional federations and the Fédération Nationale des Travaux Publics/Voies Ferrées de France - SETVF. Shared objective: to build an environmental contractual framework that makes concrete use of the know-how of companies, regardless of their size. The result of this dialogue? The Green Railway Clause (https://lnkd.in/etiBx9TJ), officially launched! About 40 contractual arrangements tested in real markets A framework beyond regulatory obligations A platform open to the whole industry Are you an industrialist in railway infrastructure? In the rolling stock? This dynamic belongs to you, too. CSR criteria are required in calls for tenders: both anticipate them together and make them a competitive advantage rather than suffer them in isolation. Join contractors, civil engineering companies, engineering and industrial offices for the launch webinar: Thursday, 19 March 2026 9.30 - 10.30 a.m. Register: https://lnkd.in/exv3ektH Together, let us build a sector where environmental excellence becomes a lever of competitiveness. #IndustrieFerviary #FIF #Ecological Transition #RSE #BasCarbone #LaClauseVerte Stefan MALIVET
