Annual Report 2003-04 Foundation in Northern Ireland as part of the Centennial of Flight Celebrations in Belfast; and a wildly successful exhibition of historical locomo- tives organized by employees at Crewe facilities in the United Kingdom, which attracted 30,000 vis- itors and raised in excess of £60,000 ($145,000) for local charities. Closer to home base, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, the Montréal Science Centre and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal received financial support from Bombardier, as did the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. A corporate donation—matched by the Foundation—also was made to help restore landmark Point Pleasant Park in Halifax, Canada, which was devastated by hurricane Juan in September 2003. A 60% reduction in the accident frequency rate over the past five years underscores the impact  of Bombardier’s unrelenting commitment to contin- uous improvement in occupational health and safety. Over the past year alone, the Corporation succeeded in reducing the frequency case rate by a further 22%, from 3.2 to 2.5 accidents per 200,000 work hours. The objective is to ratchet the rate down to 0.5 by the end of fiscal year 2006. Bombardier’s combined Health, Safety and Environment Policy was rolled out across the organization during the course of fiscal year 2004. Further progress was made, as well, in the drive to have all operations certified to internationally recognized Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001 standards. At year’s end, 42% of Bombardier sites had  completed the process. From an environmental perspective, Bombardier’s commitment to a greener world starts with key products—public transit vehicles, commuter and intercity trains, business and regional aircraft,  all designed to move people faster and more effi- ciently, utilize less energy and help relieve congestion on city thoroughfares and major high- ways. From product design and performance through procurement and manufacturing activities, environmental stewardship is a key consideration. During the past year, this comprehensive approach was reflected, for instance, in Bombardier Transportation becoming a signatory to the Sus- tainability Charter of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), as well as in initiatives that achieved substantial reductions in both haz- ardous wastes and greenhouse gas emissions at the Bombardier Aerospace complex in Belfast.  Finally, it should be noted that more than 90% of Bombardier manufacturing sites are now certi- fied to the ISO 14001 environmental standards of the Geneva-based International Organization for Standardization (ISO).  Integrated approach to health,  safety and the environment
