Alstom being an established global player, its employees have long been involved in improving the living conditions in the communities neighbouring its sites around the world.
Since , the Alstom Foundation has championed humanitarian initiatives put forward by its employees that address 4 key axes:. We support initiatives which protect children, frequently orphans, living in dire circumstances and those which develop the employability of disadvantaged women and youth seeking to enter the job market.
We encourage projects designed to enhance environmental awareness, protect natural habitats and build resilience to natural disasters.
We seek to encourage the economic development of communities by facilitating the movement of both people and goods such that remote and disadvantaged communities may take advantage of local markets, education, health and other facilities. We aim at making a contribution and helping remote communities to raise their living standards through access to these fundamental facilities. The Alstom Foundation supports projects that have been conceived, presented and supported by Alstom employees who team up with international and local partners to make a positive impact on their local community.
All these projects are focused on raising living standards within local communities and all of them have a sustainability dimension.
