In the previous year's World Environment Day celebration in 2021, Qatar Rail had planted 28 trees, represented 28 million passenger trips since the launch of the Doha Metro services in May 2019. Qatar Rail works closely with various stakeholders in the country to raise awareness about environmental and sustainability issues, providing opportunities for community members to contribute to building a sustainable future by using eco-friendly transportation options such as Doha Metro, thereby reducing the negative impact of traditional transportation methods. Through its various initiatives and activities, Qatar Rail coordinates with its partners to adopt and implement sustainable social and environmental initiatives that contribute to achieving the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
