• AENOR's certificates reflect Renfe's firm commitment to becoming a benchmark in the transport sector in terms of quality management and environmental sustainability
• The Management System implemented by Renfe confirms the efficiency of its processes, which translates into increased passenger satisfaction and loyalty, placing the company in a stronger position when compared to its competitors

Once again, Renfe's Quality and Environmental Management system has been certified in compliance with the ISO-9001 and 14001 standards for its AVE and Avlo trains, including the new services operating in France since July 2023.

AENOR's new certificate fully certifies Renfe's transport system twenty years after the company's first High-Speed train certification, a pioneering initiative, and the first integrated Quality and Environment certification granted in the Spanish transport industry.

This achievement reflects Renfe's firm commitment to becoming a benchmark in the transport industry, in terms of quality management and environmental sustainability.

Thanks to the effort and dedication of a great team of professionals, the Management System implemented by Renfe over two decades ago proves to be an efficient one, translating into increased passenger satisfaction and loyalty, while placing the company in a stronger position when compared with its competitors.

These certifications recognise the minimal environmental impact of the AVE and Avlo services, in compliance with the roadmap approved at the recent COP28 Climate Summit to accelerate the energy transition towards a zero-carbon world.

Renfe leads the way towards sustainability

This year, Renfe's electric passenger and freight trains were also certified as "Carbon Neutral" by AENOR, which is also proof of its commitment to sustainability and the goal of becoming more and more efficient in the use of electric traction energy, through efficient operating plans and the use of regenerative braking systems.

Renfe's electric passenger and freight trains guarantee zero-emission operations (no combustion processes) and, since electricity is generated from 100% renewable sources, this endeavour achieves decarbonisation or "carbon neutrality" as there are no indirect emissions at the source either.

The daily operations of Renfe's passenger and freight trains prevent the emission of 4.1 million tons of CO2 per year, with energy savings of over 1.1 million tons of oil equivalent.
