Bombardier Inc. (TSX:BBD.A)(TSX:BBD.B) published its 2012 Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) Report and Report Summary, entitled
Shaping the Future of Mobility, Responsibly, presenting the
company's CSR activities over the past year.
"For us, 2012 was a year of great progress in the Evolution of
Mobility," said Pierre Beaudoin, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Bombardier Inc. "While there were some challenges - as all
members of our industry still cope with heightened economic
uncertainty - it was still a year of innovation and
achievements."
"We are excited about the environmental potential of our
products, but also the promise they hold for communities. In this
age of urbanization and globalization, we provide affordable and
environmentally-efficient mobility solutions for cities - large and
small - to connect to one another. This brings new opportunities
and experiences to communities and businesses that may not have
previously been connected to the global network," concluded Mr.
Beaudoin.
In 2012, key achievements in CSR included:
-- sixth consecutive year listing on both the Dow Jones Sustainability
North America and World Indices, benchmark indicators of sustainability.
Bombardier was also awarded Sector Leader, considered to be the company
within its sector best prepared to seize the opportunities and manage
risks derived from economic, environmental and social developments.
-- developing the first-ever Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in the
aerospace industry to help customers understand the environmental impact
of the CSeries family of aircraft, to be issued in 2014 to coincide with
the aircraft's entry-into-service. Bombardier Transportation published
two EPDs in 2012 for the TALENT 2 train and FLEXITY Outlook tram.
-- administering the annual Employee Engagement Survey and achieving
engagement scores approaching best-in-class. For the first time, the
survey was aligned across all locations globally.
-- increasing focus on human rights. In early 2013, Bombardier developed a
formal statement that better defines how human rights are addressed and
respected across the company.
-- providing procurement managers across the enterprise with tools and
training enabling them to complete CSR spot-checks of key suppliers,
supporting compliance with the Bombardier Supplier Code of Conduct. The
Code must be adhered to by all suppliers at Bombardier Aerospace and all
master vendors at Bombardier Transportation (representing 80% of
procurement spend) that sign contracts with Bombardier.
-- achieving a 12.6% decrease in accident frequency rate and a 17.2%
decrease in accident severity rate since 2011.
-- achieving a 1.5% decrease in energy consumption, a 0.8% decrease in
greenhouse gas emissions, a 7.2% decrease in water consumption since
2011.
-- continuing to focus giving around the Bombardier 3E approach: Education,
Environment and Entrepreneurship, which aligns the organization's
community involvement with its core values and competencies, and
updating the Donations, Sponsorships, and Employee Volunteering Policy
to include program guidelines and human resources criteria for employee
volunteering.
