Alstom Foundation to support more projects around the world

  • The Foundation supports and funds projects aimed at improving living conditions in communities where we work and live
  • The new Alstom is reflected by a 50% increase in budget, the selection of more projects than usual and in addressing several new countries



5 November 2021 – The Alstom Corporate Foundation has announced its final selection of 38 projects, originating in 24 different countries, to receive funding for the fiscal year to come. Along with the record number of 189 projects submitted, the selected projects demonstrate Alstom employees’ enthusiasm for philanthropy and for supporting local communities, as well as Alstom’s increased footprint since the integration of Bombardier Transportation.

“There has been a great enthusiasm from both NGOs and Alstom employees this year, and this has translated into a record number of project submissions. If the 2020 cycle was marked primarily by the pandemic, 2021 stands out as the year in which we gained many new colleagues, so many of whom are already showing their willingness to contribute to good causes. The size of the new Alstom is reflected by an increase of the Foundation budget to €2.2 million, resulting in the selection of more projects than usual and in addressing several new countries. I’m very pleased to see this engagement to aid communities in so many different places where we work and live,” says Anne-Cecile Barbier, Secretary General of the Alstom Foundation.
