Committed to a process of continuous improvement
Thales lies at the heart of changes in world geopolitics and globalisation as a result of its specialisation in electronics for the defence, aerospace and security markets.
In this complex global environment national and international regulatory frameworks tend to overlap and can sometimes be contradictory. They tend to leave certain areas undefined, obliging companies to address issues on the basis of their own ethical standards.
Faced with such legal inconsistencies, and further constrained by the limitations of hard law, Thales relies on its own vision of corporate responsibility to develop and implement best practices.
Thales is one of the 30
companies cited as examples in the latest publication of the UN Global Compact
presented at the Leaders Summit on 24-25 June 2010 in New York.
The Roberts Environmental Center at Claremont McKenna College (CMC) in
California recently published an analysis of the environmental and
social performance of the 21 largest companies in the Aerospace and
Defence sector. Thales received a score of B+ and was ranked 4th overall.
