Bombardier has presented its suppliers SKF and General Electric
(GE) with the Bombardier Transportation Sustainability Awards. The
awards recognise suppliers' accomplishments in the field of
sustainable development, emphasising the strong strategic
importance of a responsible supply chain as part of the company's
objective to foster Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Bombardier honoured SKF for its excellence in integrating CSR in
business principles and in management standards. GE received the
award for its reporting transparency and credibility in the GE
Citizenship Report. Pierre Attendu, Vice President Operations and
Chief Procurement Officer, Bombardier Transportation, and Christoph
Schwarzler, CSR Director, Bombardier Transportation, presented the
awards during a suppliers' day at the company's headquarters in
Berlin, Germany.
"Congratulations to both SKF and GE for their clear commitment
to a responsible supply chain, which is a key component of our
Corporate Social Responsibility strategy," said Pierre Attendu.
"Bombardier's products contribute to a sustainable future in public
transportation and our suppliers' expertise plays a crucial role in
designing and manufacturing advanced components for our trains. By
honouring our suppliers with this award, we not only highlight the
importance of CSR to Bombardier and its stakeholders but also
encourage suppliers to enhance their CSR performance through
friendly competition."
"Bombardier Transportation has been a strategic customer to SKF
for many years and we are pleased to accept this award that
recognizes the work we do to integrate CSR into all areas of our
business," said Henrik Lange, President, SKF Industrial Market,
Strategic Industries. "SKF Care, our sustainability program, drives
how we integrate sustainability into our business, into our
environment projects, into how we support our employees, and how we
work with the communities where we do business."
"The GE Citizenship Report reflects the universal values that
underlie the conduct and activities of GE around the world and in
all its business areas: GE is a success-oriented company but our
activities should always be governed by clear values that meet the
responsibilities of a global company. The Citizenship Report
provides reliable and transparent information. We're delighted with
the recognition that this award has brought to our report," said
Georg Roth, CEO of GE Technology Enterprises.
Bombardier's suppliers are key contributors to achieving
flawless execution and long-term success. To manage its supply
chain responsibly, Bombardier Transportation addresses supply chain
risks, ensures efficiency and economic viability, enhances the
sustainability of its procurement processes and promotes respect
for ethics, human rights and internationally sanctioned labour
standards across its global supply chain.
The Bombardier Transportation Sustainable Suppliers Awards are
based on Bombardier's supplier self-assessment survey of more than
480 master vendors. The selection criteria cover quality systems
(IRIS); environment, health and safety systems (ISO 14001 and OHSAS
18001); labour conditions and business ethics (SA 8000); as well as
general CSR commitments (GRI level B reporting) including
philanthropic engagement.
