Alstom Transport in The Netherlands certified for level 3
of ProRail CO2 Performance Ladder

This ladder has five steps. The higher the level a company
reaches, the more benefit it will receive for contracts. For a
company that is certified at level 1 the benefit is 1%. Level 3
is 4% and even 10% at level 5.

Last July and August, Lloyds, as independent conformity
assessment body, audited the collected and issued data,
resulting in a certificate Level 3 attributed to Alstom
Transport in the Netherlands. The audit checklist contained:
insight in internal processes concerning the companies
carbon footprint, the targeted ambition for CO2 emission
reduction, transparency in the way the company communicates
internally and externally and participation with other
companies to set up C02 reduction programmes. The audit focused
for example on activities such as the use of public transport
for business travel, commuter travel, waste disposal, paper
used, electricity used at client sites, business car travel.

"Rail transport has the advantage to be the most environmental
friendly means of transportation, especially due to the fact
that it easily uses electricity. Receiving certification for
going beyond rolling-stock activities attests to our global
efforts in sustainability, declared Philippe Mellier,
President of Alstom Transport.

Alstom strives to reduce its environmental impact across the
globe. The company aims to reduce the amount of natural
resources used across the full range of operations,
