Alstom statement – Ukraine
9 March 2022 – Alstom is closely monitoring the dramatic situation currently happening in Ukraine. The safety of our employees and their families is, as always, our first priority. A dedicated team has been set up to manage the situation since the beginning of the conflict, taking actions to best support them. Our thoughts are also with all the victims of this conflict. In addition to local initiatives from our teams around the globe, our solidarity towards the affected population will be primarily channelled through the Alstom Foundation.
The Group will obviously comply with all applicable sanctions and laws and has decided to suspend all deliveries towards Russia.
