Contributing to a sustainable environment

Climate action

As an active member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Committee on Environmental Protection, we also support Corsia (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation).

We actively promote the use of Sustainable Alternative Fuel (SAF) to replace conventional kerosene. The Falcon range is already sustainable fuel compatible. Our Falcon Service Advisory document sets out best practices for reducing the environmental footprint of our aircraft. The development of flight path optimization technology also offers quick solutions for reducing carbon emissions.

Gearing up for the flights of tomorrow

We are actively involved in applied research programs: Clean Sky 2 at the European level and France’s civil aviation research council (Corac). This work focuses on lowering fuel consumption by reducing aircraft drag and weight. As members of the European Sesar program, we aim to improve flight efficiency and fuel consumption through the use of specially tailored flight paths. As part of Corac, we are involved in several projects related to the use of hydrogen in future aircraft.

Reducing industrial emissions

Our initiatives in terms of manufacturing, such as the development of new processes and the optimization of existing ones, are helping to reduce our current carbon footprint and will continue to do so for years to come.

Our achievements in the area of climate change were recently recognized when we were awarded first place in the Challenges/Statista rankings of the most environmentally responsible French companies in terms of greenhouse gas reduction in the Aeronautics/Naval/Space category.

We are one of the 300 European companies that have achieved the greatest reductions according to the Financial Times’ first Europe’s Climate Leaders 2021 listing.

Energy efficiency

Our commitment to reducing our consumption of energy is enshrined in our transformation plan. It is reflected in the design of our new facilities and buildings, which are 30% more energy-efficient than current environmental standards.

We are making similar efforts in our production processes. Telecommuting, logistics hubs and remote conferencing facilities are also helping to reduce the need to travel, thus cutting down on the attendant greenhouse gas emissions.

Minimizing our footprint and the circular economy

In line with the Group’s policy, the efforts made by our industrial sites are helping to limit our environmental footprint, in terms of water, air and soil quality, as well as with respect to controlling industrial risks. In line with circular economy principles, our careful approach to waste management enables us to achieve a high recovery rate.
