Introduction

For CN, giving back is not a slogan - it is our way of doing business. To fuel our actions and those of our community partners, CN is helping to build safer, stronger and more prosperous communities.

Every year, CN invests millions of dollars in sustainable partnerships with not-for-profit organizations that allow our Company to have a positive impact on the communities within our North American network. The main pillars for our Corporate Giving program are carefully selected for their fit and alignment with CN's corporate vision. Each pillar tells the story of how CN empowers our charitable partners to make a meaningful difference in the communities where we operate.

The three pillars of CN's Corporate Giving program are People, Safety, and Environment.

People

CN is proud of our diverse workforce. We prioritize funding that increases opportunities and accessibility for the myriad of groups represented by our railroaders. This pillar priorities organizations that provide support for:

  • Youth education in skilled trades and STEM subjects
  • Diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives
  • Cultural institutions and events
  • Emergency disaster relief
  • Food insecurity

Safety

Safety is a core value at CN. We strive to promote safety in all its forms and protect the physical and mental safety of people across North America. This pillar channels our support for organizations that promote:

  • Health and wellness, especially mental health initiatives, injury prevention and trauma centres
  • Research into major diseases 
  • First responder training and services
  • Research and innovation in safety
  • Cultural safety

Environment

Delivering Responsibly is at the heart of how CN is building for a sustainable future. CN is committed to building a sustainable future by continuously minimizing our impact on the environment and providing cleaner, more sustainable transportation services to our customers. Protecting biodiversity and managing the land in the various habitats through which our network runs, including national parks, forests, prairies and wetlands, are important aspects of CN's corporate culture and are aligned with our community efforts to protect the environment. Under this pillar, CN supports organizations that promote:

  • Mitigating the impacts from climate change
  • Clean water sources, biodiversity and sustainable forest management
  • Land conservation initiatives
  • Innovative approaches to fossil fuel reduction, carbon-neutral programs, and circular economy programs
