To better implement Alstom’s CSR commitment, in November 2007, Alstom set up the Alstom Foundation, with the objective to support initiatives taken by its employees in the area of environmental protection in partnership with local organisations.
In China, Alstom Foundation has financed three projects:
- 2008: “Green Shopping Bag” Project: an environmental initiative launched with the Global Village Beijing to support the design, manufacture and distribution of over 40,000 reusable cloth shopping bags to the Alstom employees, in support of the Chinese government decision to ban the distribution of free plastic bags by shops.
- 2008: “Biodiversity Conservation in Northwest Yunnan - Meili Mountain and Laojun Mountain” Project: Launched with The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Alstom foundation provided financial support totaling €1,000,000 over five years, aiming to promote sustainable development of China’s first national park in the Meili mountains and initiate a biodiversity preservation mode to foster the co-development of the local environment, ecosystems, communities and local cultures.
- 2011: “Alstom Forest” Project: With collaboration with the Beijing Afforestation Foundation, Alstom financed EUR 20,000 for the planting of totally 2011 trees in Beijing.
