For the sustainable development of Daher

Finding better ways of doing things so as not to compromise the capabilities of future generations, while reconciling economic and social progress with environmental protection: the challenges of sustainable development resonate particularly strongly at Daher, a family-owned company committed to the concept of responsibility, both for present and future generations.

Sustainable development is one of the cornerstones of Daher’s corporate purpose and is a collective commitment under the Take Off 2027 strategic plan, in which everyone, at their own level, has a role to play within the company.

In order to structure its approach and achieve its ambitious goals, Daher has organized its approach around three pillars that bring together the priority issues identified.

Daher has a unique position and presence across the entire aerospace value chain, from logistics to aircraft manufacturing. This gives it real strength and the ability to act at multiple levels with both its customers and suppliers. In concrete terms, the decarbonization effort is focused on three main areas:

Several initiatives and actions launched in this area formalize this commitment:

In France, CO2 emissions (scopes 1 and 2 in France) decreased by 11% in 2023 compared to 2022, reflecting efforts in the area of sustainability. Daher has set an ambitious target of reducing CO2 emissions across the entire Group by 5% per year starting in 2022.

CO2 is not the only battle to be fought: Daher’s businesses impact the environment through the waste they generate, the risk of pollution, or the use of substances that are harmful to humans and/or the planet.

Climate change is happening, and what we do today to try to minimize its impact will not be seen until 2050. Until then, we will suffer the effects with increasingly violent and/or frequent climate events. Our businesses and sites must take this into account and prepare to be resilient by adapting.

Our customers expect us to deliver optimal quality that will ensure maximum safety for their teams, their products, and their customers. This is the foundation of our business, but also our primary responsibility.

With regard to our suppliers, we strive to build balanced and responsible relationships in order to guarantee the sustainability of our supply chain. A partnership based on rights and responsibilities to advance human rights, ethics, and environmental protection in all sectors of activity.

Above all, Daher employees must enjoy safe working conditions: their health and safety are our top priority as an employer. Every effort must be made… This is the aim of the Safety@work program, which has been strengthened in terms of ergonomics following the annual Talk’in survey on working conditions. But being a responsible employer also means knowing how to integrate, train, recognize, and share value. This is what Daher strives to do.

Finally, we have identified two major challenges that concern all our stakeholders:

Our third pillar, which is more of a foundation on which we can build our sustainable development strategy, is Daher’s uniqueness, its presence in four complementary businesses in the aerospace value chain, its family governance model, its corporate purpose, and its Leadership Model, which unite and ensure collective success.

Sustainable development is one of the cornerstones of Daher’s strategy. Thanks to a clear vision and concrete actions, Daher is positioned as a trusted partner to all its stakeholders, while pursuing ambitious goals for 2027 and beyond, particularly in terms of reducing CO2 emissions and responsible resource management.

Daher shows that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand to build a better future for all.
