Clear strategy and objectives to foster inclusion
Inclusion helps create a work environment and a culture where all differences are valued, respected and leveraged without any bias. Diverse teams provide wider perspectives and boost performance and innovation.
The Global Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy launched during the FY 2022/23 across the Group reflects the company’s position of zero tolerance against discrimination and harassment and provides guidance in terms of steps to be taken in such conditions.
The Group DEI strategy is supported by four pillars – gender balance, disability inclusion, multiple culture and LGBTQ at work – with concrete objectives for achieving diversity and inclusion across all levels of the organisation.
Alstom's D&I strategy
The D&I Steering Committee made up of members of the top management, is responsible for the corporate D&I strategy development and the definition of global initiatives. Through a global approach, deployment of these initiatives is supported by a network of D&I Champions in all regions.

Alstom's Mind the Glass programme
Mind the Glass is our company-wide programme designed to promote gender equality and inclusivity globally. We recognise that achieving gender balance requires a long-term commitment, and as such, we have created a sustainable programme focused on tailored and targeted local action.
The initiative first originated in Italy, where it was successfully implemented, and in 2023 it was awarded the 4Awards4Inclusion in the category of Advancing Gender Balance.
Breaking barriers, building balance
- gender-balanced candidate slates
- unconscious bias training
- women development programmes and
- targeted actions facilitated by cross-functional collaboration.
We believe that every stage of the employee life cycle is critical in promoting gender balance, from attracting women to recruiting and retaining them, reducing the gender pay gap, and providing opportunities for career development and advancement.
Diversity and Inclusion Charter
Our culture of inclusion and zero tolerance for discrimination and bullying is also reinforced through our Global Policy of Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment. This underlines the unaccepted behaviours, along with steps to be taken and points of contact in case these take place.
