The Executive Leadership Team is composed of: Country managers: Lineas follows strict standards in corporate governance, ensuring transparency, accountability, and ethical business practices.

By enabling the modal shift from road to rail, Lineas aims to make a positive impact on society and address issues in multiple areas, such as climate change, congestion, air quality, and health and safety.

The plan included restructuring loss-making products, a redesign of the offering focusing on corridors and an important reduction in overhead costs.

In 2011, the freight division was restructured and established as an independent entity named SNCB Logistics, though it remained entirely owned by the SNCB/NMBS Group.

This period also saw a steady reduction in its dependency on SNCB/NMBS and Infrabel, leaving only a few essential links to serve Lineas’ operational interests.

This recognition celebrated his leadership the transformation of a loss-making division of the Belgian railways into a profitable and innovative private rail freight operator.

The company has proclaimed its ambition to realise a ‘modal shift’ in Europe, moving freight off the road and onto rail, to improve the supply chain of companies and address societal issues caused by traditional trucking such as mobility issues, climate impact due to high carbon emissions, health hazards due to air pollution, and unnecessary road casualties.

The coalition aims to play a role in creating a common, fully liberalised and competitive European rail freight market.
