Alstom EcoVadis Platinum Medal 2025: Record Score 93/100

For the second consecutive year, Alstom achieves the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum medal, reinforcing its position as a global leader in corporate social responsibility and sustainable development within the railway industry.

Updated on September 22, 2025

The French mobility giant has reached a new milestone in 2025 with a score of 93 out of 100, its highest historical result in the EcoVadis assessment. This performance places Alstom in the top 1% of best-rated companies among over 130,000 organizations evaluated globally by the reference platform.

Exceptional Achievement in the EcoVadis Universe

EcoVadis, recognized as the international reference for assessing the quality of CSR management systems, distinguishes Alstom for the second time with its Platinum medal. This distinction testifies to the operational excellence of the French railway constructor across the four fundamental pillars of evaluation: environment, working conditions and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

The 93/100 score obtained in 2025 represents notable progress and positions Alstom among the global elite of companies committed to ecological and social transition. This recognition comes at a key moment when mobility stakeholders face growing environmental and regulatory challenges.

Excellence Positioning in the Global Index

The EcoVadis Platinum medal places Alstom in an exclusive category: less than 1% of evaluated companies reach this level of excellence. This position reflects not only the company's sustained efforts but also its ability to integrate sustainability issues throughout all its activities, from traditional materials like steel and aluminum used in train manufacturing to cutting-edge technological innovations.

EcoVadis Rating: Essential Reference for the Mobility Industry

The EcoVadis assessment constitutes a CSR evaluation tool adapted to each company according to its size, business sector, and geographical location. For mobility stakeholders like Alstom, this rating carries major strategic importance.

Institutional clients, public authorities, and investors closely monitor these indicators during tender processes and investment decisions. Mobility solution providers are increasingly required to share their EcoVadis rating in consultation processes, making this certification a genuine competitive advantage.

Strategic Vision: Sustainability as a Fundamental Pillar

Véronique Andriès, Alstom's Vice-President of Sustainability & CSR, emphasizes that "we are actively working with our customers to help them transition towards greener and efficient transport systems". This approach illustrates how sustainability now shapes every aspect of Alstom's activity.

The group's stated objective focuses on achieving zero emissions in transport and promoting social equity through improving accessibility and efficiency of public transport.

Operational Excellence Across the Four EcoVadis Dimensions

Maintaining Platinum status testifies to Alstom's performance across all four EcoVadis evaluation criteria, each representing an essential pillar of modern corporate responsibility.

Environmental Pillar: Rigorous Policies and Eco-design

Alstom applies strict policies regarding energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Key environmental actions include:

• Implementation of 100% eco-design policies
• Integration of 25.8% recycled materials in rolling stock
• Recent recognition of the Avelia Stream Nordic X80 for Sweden for its sustainable design

Working Conditions and Human Rights Pillar

The constructor guarantees safe and equitable working conditions through several initiatives:

• Continuous training on occupational health and safety
• Reinforced anti-discrimination policies
• First international SA8000 certification obtained in Italy for local activities

Ethics and Integrity Pillar

Alstom deploys solid policies and specialized training on ethical issues:

• Anti-corruption training programs and conflict of interest management
• Secure and accessible mechanisms for whistleblowing alerts

Sustainable Procurement Pillar: Supply Chain Accountability

As a sustainable mobility leader, Alstom is fully committed to reducing environmental, social and ethical risks at each link in its supply chain. Key metrics demonstrate this commitment:

• 93% of suppliers controlled according to CSR and ethical standards
• 98% of suppliers signatories of Alstom's ethics and sustainable development charter

These results illustrate the sustained efforts of Alstom teams to lead the railway sector's ecological transition. The company aims to guarantee fair treatment, establish high integrity standards, and significantly raise objectives in responsible sourcing.
