Thales makes the CDP Climate A-List for the third consecutive year and obtains an “A-” rating in Water Security for the first time

Thales’s position among the leading companies in environmental transparency and commitment to climate change and water management has been confirmed by its renewed inclusion in CDP’s Climate A-List (see box below), as well as its first-ever “A-” rating in Water Security.

The annual CDP scores are considered the global benchmark on companies' environmental transparency and their actions to raise climate awareness and mitigate the risks associated with climate change and the protection of natural resources. The scores also recognise the best practices in place within these organisations. 

In 2025, more than 22,100 organisations submitted their environmental data to the CDP for rating.

Thales ranks among the top 4% of companies that obtained an "A" score (across all categories), out of a total of 20,000 that were rated in 2025.

This score reflects the robustness of the Group’s actions in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and managing water resources, as well as the consistency of its environmental strategy.

"We are extremely proud to once again obtain an “A” rating from CDP for Climate Change. This year, we are also honoured to obtain, for the first time, an “A-” rating for Water Security. I would like to congratulate and thank our teams for their daily commitment and dedication, which make it possible to deliver our low-carbon strategy and our water conservation programme. These recognitions are testament to the rigour and effectiveness of the actions undertaken as part of PROTECT, our sustainability programme."

Isabelle Simon, Senior Executive Vice President Group Secretary and General Counsel

CDP at a glance

Formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project, CDP is a global non-profit that runs the world’s environmental disclosure system for companies. Fully aligned with the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures), CDP holds the largest environmental database in the world, and its scores are widely used to drive investment and procurement decisions towards a zero-carbon, sustainable and resilient economy.

CDP uses a detailed, independent methodology to score organisations on three themes: climate change, forests and water security. Scores ranging from A to F are attributed on the basis of the exhaustiveness of the disclosures and the organisation's environmental risk mitigation performance. Additional criteria include environmental awareness and leadership and the organisation's record of setting ambitious, meaningful environmental objectives.
