Enhanced access to Corporate Social Responsibility related information through new dedicated website – www.csr.bombardier.com

Today Bombardier Inc. released its third corporate social responsibility report entitled Deepening our Commitment. The report captures the company’s ongoing commitment to act responsibly as a public company, employer, neighbour and partner. The report stresses the importance of embedding sustainability not only in the company’s products, but also in our culture and mindset for the years to come.

“Our employees remain at the heart of our success. Nowhere is this more evident than in the sphere of corporate social responsibility. In the past year, we witnessed numerous instances where our employees brought their ingenuity to bear, zeroing in on solutions to sustainability challenges and setting the stage for greater prosperity,” said Pierre Beaudoin, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier Inc.

Building on last year’s structure, the report is organized into six sections, reflecting both stakeholder feedback and the areas where Bombardier has the greatest responsibilities: governance, employees, products, operations, suppliers and responsible citizenship.

To improve access and minimize its environmental footprint, Bombardier’s complete 2010 Corporate Social Responsibility Report is available exclusively online, on its new dedicated website:
