Shared values
Dassault Aviation boasts an affirmed identity, strong values and strict ethical principles, reflected in our charter and codes of conduct, a special organizational structure, prevention and training policy, procedures and international commitments.
Strict ethical principles
Customer satisfaction is both our top priority and our guiding philosophy, based on integrity, trust and loyalty.
The development of Dassault Aviation depends on the quality and commitment of our people. A team spirit, mutual respect, collaboration and professional fulfillment are all integral parts of our DNA.
Both technological excellence and innovation are anchored in an approach based on quality and environmental protection.
Economic performance depends on providing shareholders and financial markets with open and accurate information, while complying with fair trade rules and equitably treating our suppliers.
We are open-minded, applying a proactive policy of partnerships, employee training and sustained links with the scientific and academic communities.
Specific processes and tools
Dassault Aviation applies very strict business ethics, in compliance with national laws and international agreements.
The Ethics department, an independent body which reports directly to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dassault Aviation, is tasked with implementing measures to fight against corruption and influence peddling, and to closely monitoring performance in these areas.
It has built a solid organization, based on the following procedures and tools:
– An anti-corruption code as part of internal rules, defining the different types of prohibited behaviors, and an anti-corruption guide that shows how this works, with practical examples and exercises.
– An internal alert procedure, enabling employees, temp staff and outside partners to signal any infraction, or any behavior not in line with the anti-corruption code.
– A chart of risks to identify, analyze and rank corruption exposure risks.
– Procedures to assess the situation of tier-1 and intermediate suppliers in relation to this chart.
– Internal and external accounting control procedures.
– Special training sessions for staff with the greatest risk exposure.
To support this initiative, Dassault Aviation has also set up an internal assessment and control structure.
Our international commitments
Dassault Aviation has signed international agreements on fair trade practices (Common Industry Standards, Global Principles) and the United Nations Global Compact, which promotes ten fundamental principles concerning basic human rights, labor and environmental standards, and the fight against corruption.
