Evolving in a globalized and strongly competitive environment, Dassault Aviation has asserted its values, identity and ethics in the company’s Ethical Charter.
As a responsible corporate citizen, the company has integrated the social, human, economic and environmental dimensions of its operations into relations with partners and staff, and strives for constant improvements and sustainable business growth.
In addition, since 2003 Dassault Aviation has been one of the first companies to join the Global Compact, the initiative launched by United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, to federate businesses, public organizations and civil society around ten principles in favor of a more viable and open economy.
While ensuring respect for these principles, Dassault Aviation also promotes them in its corporate documents (annual report, contracts to name a few )and among partners. Each year on the Global Compact website, the company describes its best practices as a concrete illustration of the Global Compact principles.

Labour Standards
Principle 3: Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
