Marketwired
As a global leader in rail technology, Bombardier Transportation
continues to shape the future of mobility, responsibly. With the
publication of its fourth bi-annual Sustainability Report, the
company showcases its 2011/2012 CSR achievements.
A structured stakeholder analysis helped to shape Bombardier
Transportation's CSR agenda and with it, CSR standards for the
entire rail industry. As a result, this report reflects how the
company is delivering innovation, managing its business responsibly
and supporting communites - all integral parts of being a leader in
the global rail industry.
Bombardier's five-stage Product Responsibility Strategy shows
how the company delivers innovative and sustainable transport
solutions based on the example of the BOMBARDIER SPACIUM train:
Design - Supply Chain - Manufacturing & Testing - Product Use
& Maintenance - End-of-Life. At the end of their life cycle,
the newly developed Bombardier rail vehicles offer a recoverability
rate of up to 98%, a recyclability rate of up to 93% and up to 96%
less CO2 emissions per passenger kilometer than other modes of
transportation.
Responsible management requires a transparent environmental
footprint for each product. "We began our product environmental
performance reporting as early as 1999 when we launched our first
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)," said Michael Schemmer,
Head of CSR and Health Safety & Environment, Bombardier
Transportation. "To date, we have released 15 EPDs, including the
four EPDs that we published over the last two years for BOMBARDIER
INNOVIA Metro 200, the BOMBARDIER REGINA Intercity X55 train, the
BOMBARDIER TALENT 2 train and the BOMBARDIER FLEXITY Outlook tram,"
he added.
Bombardier Transportation's commitment to support communities is
embedded in its strategy to grow local roots in key markets. The
business continued to increase the focus of its sponsorship
globally on the three areas of education, environment and
entrepreneurship. In 2012, 46 % of its donations and sponsorship
concentrated on these three areas, up from 20% in 2010 and 35% in
2011. This targeted approach helps Bombardier Transportation to
create value in the communities where it operates. Successful
employee volunteering pilot events in different regions gathered
best practice, paving the way towards more volunteering activities
in the future.
In preparing this report, Bombardier applied the Global
Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI) 3.1.
GRI is a multi-stakeholder governed institution that provides
global standards in sustainability reporting and is a collaborating
centre of the United Nations Environment Programme.
The Bombardier Transportation Sustainability report is based on
the 2012 Bombardier Inc. CSR Report. To view the full online
report, also covering the CSR performance of Bombardier Aerospace,
