Better Health for All

Alstom's core business, rail transport, delivers exceptional health benefits by being the cleanest and most energy-efficient transport mode, reducing CO2 emissions, and improving air quality. The company's 'Healthier Mobility' solutions directly address air quality, cleaning, and disinfection in trains, meeting EU 2022 directives on ambient air quality.

Alstom demonstrates major progress in eliminating systemic access barriers for vulnerable populations, with initiatives reaching over 3,300 women and youth in seven villages, 20,000 residents in six villages through mobile medical units, and working with Fundación ONCE to enhance accessibility for approximately 3.8 million individuals with disabilities in Spain. The company's operations generate substantial positive health externalities, with a 42% reduction in emissions intensity per passenger-km and 35% per ton-km from sold products compared to FY2021/22. Alstom has substantial equity programs, including supporting disadvantaged communities with over 163,000€ in project budgets and reaching 370,000 beneficiaries from community investment programs in FY 2024/25. However, the company's support for the healthcare workforce is limited, with 22.4 hours of training per employee per year in FY 2024/25, primarily focused on internal skills. Preventative health measures, such as promoting physical wellbeing and correct diet, are mainly for employees. The company's response to global health crises is reactive, organizing events to send 450 food kits to Ukrainian refugees and 3,672 food kits to Turkey. Mental health initiatives, while substantial, are primarily internal, with programs for employees and 900 attendees during 'Alstom’s well-being week'. Alstom also has substantial healthcare education initiatives, including health education sessions for 20,000 residents and partnerships with educational structures.

However, no percentage of the supply chain is certified conflict-free, and the company is still conducting surveys to identify supplier practices on conflict minerals like tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold, and cobalt.
