Norfolk Southern Employee Spotlight: Protect the Planet, Earn a Profit
Oct 5, 2016 9:45 AM ET
Josh Raglin, general manager facilities, has helped make Norfolk Southern a U.S. corporate leader in conservation capitalism, a business approach that turns conservation into opportunities for profit.
A biologist by training, Raglin manages NS’ Brosnan Forest business center and 14,405-acre woodlands preserve in Dorchester, S.C., near Charleston. In 2008, Raglin helped NS pioneer a conservation easement that permanently protects 12,488 acres of the property from development, including more than 6,000 acres of rare longleaf pine forest. Since then, Raglin has spearheaded several initiatives showcasing conservation capitalism, including creation of a wetlands mitigation bank, his latest project.
