How Norfolk Southern is fostering responsible leadership

Norfolk Southern’s Board of Directors is the backbone of our organization. To ensure we deliver on our commitment to strong corporate governance and risk management, our shareholders have elected a strategic, independent, and engaged Board committed to driving accountability for business operations, safety, sustainability, and performance.

Since our last “Forging a Better Tomorrow” report, seven new directors have joined the Board. As a result, we’ve added significant rail transportation, operations, safety, sustainability, and regulatory expertise, which will help the Board provide meaningful oversight and drive accountability and continued strong performance in these critical areas.

Our 2024 Proxy Statement outlines additional information about our Board of Directors, its committees, its responsibilities, and the comprehensive governance strategy they have established to ensure we deliver safe, reliable service to customers and fulfill our commitments to all stakeholders.

The Board has taken significant steps to further refine and improve its risk management oversight processes, with a particular focus on safety, cybersecurity, and enterprise risk management, to enhance the culture of collaboration and transparency across the organization.
