PRODUCT RESPONSIBILITY STRATEGY
“We are increasingly putting the lifecycle of our trains in the focus – we want our products to continuously reduce their environmental and financial footprint.” Martin Ertl, Head of R&D, Chief Technology Office
BOMBARDIER PRODUCT LIFECYCLE
05
01
END-OF-LIFE Today more than 95% of the materials in our rail vehicles are recoverable. Our aim is for all of our new products to be 100% recoverable by 2025. We are working with industry organizations and suppliers to increasingly use renewable resources as well as materials that are easier to separate and disassemble for a second life, as specified in our EcoDesign approach.
02 SUPPLY CHAIN Even before designs are finalized, we implement a rigorous selection process to identify the best suppliers, materials, and technologies. With our strategy of growing local roots in key markets in mind, we work together with local suppliers to decrease financial and environmental risks and help strengthen economies and communities around our manufacturing sites.
04 PRODUCT USE AND MAINTENANCE We want our customers to get the most out of our products – including a safe and pleasant passenger experience and best-in-class environmental performance. We are broadening our support services around the world. This helps us better understand the challenges customers face throughout a product’s active life.
DESIGN We design innovative mobility solutions to meet customer needs while taking into account global trends to ensure a differentiated product line. Dialogue with customers and passengers begins at the earliest design stages so we can incorporate their priorities and needs. Our EcoDesign (formally Design for Environment) and Design for Safety approaches are also applied during the design phase, ensuring high environmental and safety performance at every stage of the product lifecycle.
03
MANUFACTURING AND TESTING We strive to achieve flawless execution by providing a safe, clean, and lean manufacturing process. This process and our approach of conducting product testing prior to entry-into-service ensure our products perform as designed and adhere to all compliance, safety, and environmental regulations.

We conducted training for Transnet Freight Rail employees and transferred expertise on products and processes.

(p) Direct energy/emissions are from sources that are owned or controlled by the company. (q) Indirect energy/emissions result from company activities but are generated at sources owned or controlled by another organization. This relates mainly to electricity. (r) Direct renewable resources are capable of being replenished within a short time through ecological cycles, as opposed to resources such as minerals, metals, oils, gas, and coal that do not renew in short time periods. (s) Indirect renewable electricity covers consumption from Quebec, Belgium, and Sweden. (t) Valorized waste refers to hazardous and non-hazardous waste which has been redirected to a process that reuses, recycles, composts, and combusts the waste into useful products or sources of energy. The number reported is the percentage of valorized waste as compared to our total waste generated (including both hazardous and non-hazardous). (u) The accident frequency rate measures the number of accidents that had one or more lost days, excluding restricted duty days, expressed per 200,000 hours worked. (v) The accident severity rate is the number of lost days expressed per 200,000 hours worked. The total number of lost days includes days away from work and excludes days in restricted duty. (w) The incident rate is the number of recordable cases, expressed per 200,000 hours worked. The total number of recordable incidents includes: a. The total number of work-related fatalities b. The total number of lost time accidents cases (excluding restricted duty) c. The total number of restricted duty cases d. The total number of occupational sickness and disease cases (excluding restricted duty) e. The total number of occupational sickness and disease restricted duty cases f. The total number of medical treatment
