As one of the country’s leading actors in rail technology and in the transition towards a decarbonised transport system, Alstom (see Alstom in Sweden) also quantifies its economic impact in Sweden, putting its contribution to national GDP at SEK 1.425 billion.

The report explains that this footprint is reinforced by supply chains and industrial investments, which help local businesses grow and underpin the creation of new jobs across the country.

Sustainable and energy-efficient rail transport

Alstom’s economic role is closely tied to sustainable and energy-efficient rail transport. The company continues to develop advanced testing and development facilities in Västerås, alongside new digital solutions designed to improve both safety and capacity in the rail system.

According to the report, sustainability is embedded throughout the organisation: trains produced for Sweden are designed with very high levels of recyclability, and the regional fleets reach a recyclability rate of 96 percent.

Long-term collaborations with partners focus on materials with lower climate impact, while investments in energy efficiency and resource-saving technologies support a more resource-preserving railway in the Nordic region.

Community and volunteer programmes in Sweden

Alongside its industrial and technology footprint, Alstom’s community and volunteer programmes in Sweden continue to expand. The company runs mentorship programmes for young women, offers internships for newly arrived academics and carries out volunteer activities together with nonprofit organisations.

Over the past year, more than 2,800 people – nearly 3,000 in total – have benefited from these social programmes, with employees across the country actively involved in community initiatives and fundraising efforts.

Maria Signal-Martebo, CEO of Alstom in Sweden, highlights the human side of these figures. She notes that she is incredibly proud of the employees and of the impact they are making, and emphasises that Alstom is not only delivering sustainable mobility solutions but also strengthening local ecosystems and driving innovation together with universities, startups and industry partners.
