  • Thought Leadership Award 2019
    Press Release July 19, 2021 Swiss Federal Railways CEO Vincent Ducrot defends top position in CEO Image Ranking − Vincent Ducrot, CEO of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), once again wins Sonntagszeitung‘s Swiss CEO Image Ranking. His results are positive after one year in office. − Glencore CEO Ivan Glasenberg remains on second place towards the end of his term and scores points with climate protection targets. Holcim CEO Jan Jenisch climbs to the third place in the ranking. − However, the CEOs on the lower places of the ranking are increasingly facing criticism. Vincent Ducrot, CEO of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), defends his top position in the CEO Image Ranking in the second quarter of 2021. The ranking was published by Sonntagszeitung. He thus repeatedly leads the ranking, for which UNICEPTA analyzed the media presence of the CEOs of all Swiss companies on the SMI as well as Coop, Glencore, Migros, SBB and Swiss Post. The result is positive overall after more than one year in office. Ducrot has changed the corporate culture to the better, among other things by being a “railwayman”, Basler Zeitung sums up. Tages-Anzeiger adds: “The employees were suddenly more satisfied and motivated. And most importantly, trust in the leadership grew strongly." An extensive employee survey that strengthened Ducrot's image in the first quarter is still resonating positively. Glasenberg (Glencore) scores points towards the end of his term, Jenisch (Holcim) reorganizes the company There is no change on the second place in the second quarter of the year either. Glencore CEO Ivan Glasenberg, who was succeeded by Gary Nagle on July 1, scores with the company’s dedicated climate protection targets.

    THE SNCF SOCIETY’S ARCHIVE The Archive was formally established in 1995 following the acquisition of photographs and papers from the estate of G.P. Keen, of Model Railway Club fame. (In Journal 73, March 1994, there is a concise yet detailed account which remains valid). The other photo collections were successively incorporated. Technical papers and booklets were transferred from the Society Library such as were considered antiquarian, fragile or otherwise unsuitable for loan. Walter Dendy presented his collection of photos, literature and memorabilia of professional visits. I trust I have acknowledged in the Journal the presentations which have been made over the last ten years, (see Journal 139, Sept.2010.p.5 for recent notices and references, which are repeated in the list below; earlier notices can be traced in the cumulative index compiled by P.Clegg). The list that follows is a summary; many items are described generically, as sets or collections, as with photos and some categories of ‘literature’. This is not the space to enter the title of every paper or article. However a good many items are entered individually where it is useful and illustrates the range of material present. Sections A to M represent categories of materials, and reflect to an extent the way they are stored, but size and format are of course deciding factors.

In no other part of the world are trains, trams and buses used as often as they are in this small Alpine country. In fact, so beloved is the public transportation system in Switzerland that its people have repeatedly voted in favor of extending the already comprehensive rail network even further. The country’s aim is to carry more travelers on public transport and transfer more freight from road to rail. ABB is participating in this effort, supplying the power for the two new base tunnels through the Alps – the Lötschberg and the Gotthard – as well as DC traction substations for public transport in the conurbations around the cities of Zurich, Bern and Luzern. tudies repeatedly show that has not only increased the frequency of the Swiss are world champi- its timetable, it also continually upgrades ons when it comes to travel- its rolling stock.
