New extra-financial ambitions for 2023 Recognised performance in corporate responsibility Thales’s volontary commitment to corporate responsibility has once again been recognised by extra-financial rating agencies. Thus, in 2020, for the fourth consecutive year, Thales was ranked among companies who have developed, at global level, the most advanced corporate responsibility policy in the “Aerospace & Defence” sector by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI). At the same time, the extra-financial rating agencies MSCI and EthiFinance (Gaïa Rating) have awarded, respectively, the rating AA (5th consecutive year) and 83/100 to Thales for its corporate responsibility policy, thus highlighting the consistent effort made by the company in this area. In terms of the protection of the environment, the low-carbon strategy established in 2019 positions the Group in an ambitious plan to reduce emissions by 2030. Particular attention has also been paid to the integration of Gemalto’s teams, further increasing the attractiveness of the Group as an employer. In 2020, Thales embarked on a certification process in application of the ISO 37001 “Anti-corruption management systems” standard. The certification was issued by AFNOR in March 2021 for a scope comprising Thales SA and the companies it controls in France, as well as certain international subsidiaries of Thales International SAS.
