Our Purpose

Building a future we can all trust.


This expression of Thales’s purpose, crafted following a broad consultation of our employees, perfectly encapsulates the DNA that has defined the company since its foundation over a century ago.


Thales's customers are large organisations such as government agencies, administrations, institutions, cities and businesses. The common denominator is that they all provide or operate systems, services and infrastructure that are vital to society in the areas of defence, security, air and rail transport, banking, telecommunications, etc.

·     We believe technology drives progress

·     We believe in the power of the imagination and the virtues of professional rigour.

·     We believe that innovation should be open, shared and sustainable.

·     We believe that strength lies in diversity & inclusion.

Whatever it takes.


Sustainability

In line with its values, its purpose of "building a future we can all trust", and its social responsibility strategy, Thales has been committed to a proactive and responsible approach to environmental protection for more than 15 years. This commitment, written into the Code of Ethics, is reflected in a Group-wide policy aimed at reducing the environmental impact and risks arising from its activities and products.


Strategy for a Low-Carbon future

Since 2019 Thales has adopted a low-carbon strategy based on reducing direct emissions, eco-responsible offerings for our customers and contributing to a better understanding of climate phenomena.


Products and Services for Sustainability

Thales works to offer its customers innovative and eco-responsible functions and services that will enable them to reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions.


Understanding climate phenomena

Through its subsidiary Thales Alenia Space, the Group has been a major player in Earth observation, understanding climate change and monitoring the environment for over 40 years.


Resource management and biodiversity

Thales’s resource management policy guides its efforts to preserve water, reduce its use of raw materials, produce less waste, recycle more, become a more energy-efficient business, and shrink its carbon footprint.




Community & Impact

Being in the business of trust means we need to set an example in terms of ethics and integrity. Fighting corruption and influence peddling, for instance, is a top priority for the Thales Group, and measures are in place to ensure strict compliance with national and international rules of fair trade and competition, personal data protection and due diligence. Thales also requires its partners and suppliers to display the same exemplary behaviour.


For Thales, being a responsible business also means contributing to the well-being of society at large. The Group’s community engagement strategy is focused on supporting education and professional integration, promoting digital citizenship and protecting the environment.


Because we are also aware of our obligations to the planet. For a number of years, Thales and its global workforce have actively pursued an environmental protection policy aimed at reducing the risks and impacts of our own activities and products, and developing new technologies to monitor and measure the effects of climate change.
