Scope of pledges
Programme status. Each participant carries a programme status that reflects the overall progress of its commitments: Engaged (commitments taken, work starting), Shaper (concrete measures under way), Leader (ambitious commitments largely delivered), Champion (the highest level, all commitments achieved and renewed). This status evolves over time.
Pledge levels. Every pledge is classified by ambition level, from 1 to 3, shown as dots next to its thematic. Level 1: a first, foundational commitment. Level 2: a concrete, measurable action with a defined target and timeline. Level 3: the most ambitious commitment, structural and verified against recognised standards.
Progress. Each pledge shows its progress: In progress (work under way within the agreed timeline), Achieved (target reached and validated), Delayed (timeline extended). Alumni companies keep their last recorded pledges and levels.
Transports publics fribourgeois (TPF) has been the key player in mobility in the canton of Fribourg since 1868. Today, the TPF network covers the entire canton of Fribourg, with its trains, regional buses and urban lines. To be even closer to its users, the TPF group is transforming its stations into places to live and do business, and investing in innovation.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | By 2027 for the urban network and by 2033 for the regional network, we replace all our diesel buses with low climate impact technologies, i.e. battery-powered trolley buses, electric buses and hydrogen buses, all powered by Swiss electricity and hydrogen from renewable sources.*
* See decarbonisation of route buses (2023 benchmark: 191 diesel buses).
In parallel, and by 2030, we increase our energy efficiency by 10 % and multiply by more than 5 our production of energy from renewable sources (2021 baseline: 72,623 MWh of energy consumed on TPF infrastructures and 573 MWh of solar electricity produced). |

| 2 | By 2030, we help increase the modal split of public transport in the canton to at least 22 %, compared with 17.5 % in 2015.*
* Modal split: Share of public transport in total passenger transport (sustainable mobility, motorised individual transport and public transport) on road and rail in % of person-kilometres. |
Community ImpactLevel 3 | In progress | 11 · 9 · 13 |
| 3 | By 2024, we improve the quality of natural environments on minimum 20 % of trackside areas, preserving and developing biodiversity along railway sections and areas, in line with the Swiss Biodiversity Strategy.*
* According to the biodiversity objectives set out in the service agreement drawn up by the Federal Office of Transport for railway infrastructure managers. |

| 5 | By 2030, we aim to increase the proportion of women in the TPF Group to at least 22 %, compared with 18.3 % in 2021, by implementing different measures.*
* Industry benchmark: The proportion of women in transport, logistics and tourism companies was 19 % in 2023 (Schillingreport 2023). |

Level 1–3: ambition of each pledge (1 = foundational, 3 = most ambitious). The programme status (STI Engaged → Shaper → Leader → Champion) reflects overall progress. SDGs = UN Sustainable Development Goals. Full explanation on the online profile.
