Alstom Canada Launches Indigenous Supplier Registration Process

Alstom Canada is seeking suppliers for its current and future projects, including major contract awards from the Toronto Transit Commission and VIA Rail. The company aims to broaden its supplier base and build relationships with businesses that can support these initiatives. To achieve this goal, Alstom has introduced a new Indigenous supplier registration process, which allows Indigenous-owned businesses to share information about their ownership, certifications, capabilities, experience, and geographic reach directly with the procurement team.

The new portal is part of Alstom Canada's broader commitment to reconciliation and inclusive economic growth. The company recognizes the important contribution that Indigenous entrepreneurs and businesses make to Canada's economy and the long-term success of the transportation industry. By reducing barriers to connection and improving visibility into Indigenous business capabilities, Alstom aims to foster economic participation and develop lasting relationships.

'Economic reconciliation must translate into concrete action,' said Annick Enguelle, Diverse Supplier Program Manager at Alstom Canada. 'Making it easier for Indigenous-owned businesses to connect with Alstom is one practical step toward increasing their participation in our supply chain.'
