OREANDA-NEWS. CN recognized 11 of its intermodal customers for their sustainability practices that are aligned with the objectives of the CN EcoConnexions program.

CN will plant 110,000 trees next spring in recognition of its customers' commitment to sustainable business practices.

Our ultimate goal is to deepen our relationships and, by doing so, to learn from each other as we move toward a more sustainable future together."
