Abstract: The EU sets ambitious climate and energy goals for 2030, or the socalled European Green Deal, in compliance with the new global framework for sustainable development adopted by the UN General Assembly on 25 September 2015. The Green Deal is accompanied by legislative acts ensuring that both public and private funding depend significantly on the sustainability of economic activity. The definition and classification of sustainable activities are embedded in the EU Taxonomy Regulation. The aim of the present study is to find out how the stakeholders of railway sector perceive, react to, and feel about the Green Deal policy measures and approaches. After investigation of the relevant literature and compiling a structured questionnaire, persons involved in the operation of the railway sector (railway transport policy makers; railway undertakers and railway infrastructure managers) were convened and a focus group was conducted. The article describes the results of the focus group and identifies future directions for design thinking research on market responses to government interventions in supply chain operations.
