Alstom Canada’s commitment to Indigenous Peoples

Alstom Canada announces its commitment to Indigenous Peoples in advance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Alstom is committing to the pursuit of truth, reconciliation, and justice for Indigenous Peoples through recognition, education, and awareness activities that will take place over the year at its different sites across Canada. Alstom also intends to strengthen its relationships with Indigenous businesses, creating opportunities for them to join its Canadian supply chain; and investing in community projects that further support social and economic reconciliation. 

The company issues the following statement:

Alstom Canada acknowledges that its operations take place on Indigenous territories and is committed to honouring the historical, cultural, and spiritual connections that Indigenous Peoples maintain with these lands. Aware of the historical exclusion of Indigenous Peoples from development projects on their own territories, Alstom Canada is committed to collaborating in a respectful, transparent, and inclusive manner. Grounded in the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the company aims to build equitable partnerships based on dialogue, recognition, and co-development. Driven by a genuine commitment to care for people and communities, Alstom Canada seeks to foster long-term, trust-based relationships that respect Indigenous territories, natural resources, and traditional knowledge. In doing so, the company also strives to implement a socially responsible business model through inclusive, safe, and environmentally friendly mobility solutions. As a committed actor in economic reconciliation, Alstom Canada embraces the principles of the 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and is actively contributing to build a just, equitable, and shared future.

“It is with determination, but also with humility and openness, that Alstom embarks today on this important journey toward truth and reconciliation with our partners in Indigenous communities,” said Michael Keroullé, President of Alstom Americas. “We look forward to building a better and more inclusive future together.”
