Supplier Recognition is a tool used to encourage results and reward performance in Procurement & Supply Chain (P&SC) activities within the supply base. Suppliers who are partners with P&SC will be measured not just on their ability to perform their contracted duties, but also by the additional value and productivity they bring beyond the contract in four areas: Innovation, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Customer Service Excellence and Strategic Value.

The P&SC leadership team will evaluate supplier nominations based on the measurement criteria below. Suppliers do not have to meet all criteria; however, they should excel in one of the areas to be selected.

• Innovation
  A new product, service or enhancement that provides efficiency, savings, sustainability or reduced waste.
• Customer Service Excellence & Partnership
  Suppliers who go "above and beyond" the value of a contract. They invest in customer support and think of CSX needs.
• Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability
  Suppliers who invest in the community through Trees for Tracks, Supplier Diversity, waste reduction or internal employee programs.
• Strategic Value
  A supplier relationship that provides long-term benefit in Quality, Price or Delivery. Suppliers in this category help sustain CSX material or service needs for the future.
