Our commitments
For more than 20 years, Thales has pursued a robust corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy based on the highest international standards. The principles behind this policy are now captured in the company’s purpose of “building a future we can all trust”, which was adopted in 2020.
Through this approach, the Group is striving to meet the expectations of customers, employees, investors and the financial markets in terms of its business performance, its potential for innovation and awareness of its responsibilities, and to respond to current demand for greater trust and transparency in stakeholder relations.
Being a responsible company
For more than 20 years, Thales has pursued a strong corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy based on the highest international standards, close cooperation with the company’s stakeholders and commitments supported by the Group’s highest governance bodies.
Committing to Environmental Protection
Thales has been committed to a proactive and responsible approach to environmental protection for more than 15 years.
Being a socially engaged company
Teams that reflect the diversity of Thales's customer base and of the company itself make a real difference, enabling us to transform the most innovative technologies into creative, resilient and sustainable solutions that meet people’s needs.
Thales Solidarity Programme
Because trust is essential for societies to flourish, innovation should be available to everyone. Thales is committed to sharing its talent and expertise with civil society so that everyone can be a part of the decisive transformations of the future.
Thales signed the United Nations Global Compact in 2003 and is among the 5% of companies to achieve the highest level of reporting, having met the Advanced criteria for the ninth consecutive year in 2020.
In 2021, Thales received the Supplier relations and Sustainable procurement Label, which is awarded to companies that maintain balanced and sustainable relationships with their suppliers.
In 2020, extra-financial rating agencies MSCI and EthiFinance (Gaïa Rating) graded Thales’s CSR policy AA (for the fifth year running) and 83/100 respectively, underscoring the company’s consistent efforts on this front.
Thales has received a A- rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project, confirming our place among the most transparent and efficient companies in the fight against climate change.
Thales’s greenhouse gas emission reduction targets were determined using the methodology developed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and are in line with the 1.5°C commitments of COP26.
The methodology is also recognised by the TCFD (Task Force on Climate related Financial Disclosures) set up by the G20, to which the Group committed in 2020 by becoming a signatory to its principles and recommendations.
