Being a pioneer in the decarbonization of aerospace

Daher stands out through its unique position across the entire aerospace value chain, from logistics to aircraft manufacturing. This positioning enables it to play a key role in decarbonizing the sector by acting at multiple levels alongside its clients and suppliers.
Concretely, the decarbonization effort is structured around three main areas:
- Decarbonizing products and processes throughout their entire lifecycle.
- Reducing resource consumption to minimize ecological footprint.
- Adapting Daher’s sites and services to the impacts of climate change.
Key sustainability actions include:
- Development of the EcoPulse hybrid-electric aircraft demonstrator.
- Implementation of a thermoplastic scrap recycling process in Nantes to reduce waste.
- Use of biofuel for company trucks and for aerospace operations (production, control, and maintenance flights).
- 3R strategy (Reduce, Recycle, Reuse) to optimize packaging consumables and promote a circular economy.
- Climate risk exposure assessment across all Daher sites, in partnership with AXA Climate.
Measurable results
In 2023, Daher reduced its CO₂ emissions in France by 11% compared to 2022 (Scopes 1 and 2). Starting in 2022, the goal is to reduce the Group’s CO₂ emissions by 5% per year.

Beyond CO₂: Addressing environmental impact
Daher also considers risks related to waste, pollution, and the use of hazardous substances. Climate change is a major challenge, and the actions taken today will only bear full fruit by 2050. However, its effects are already visible through increasingly frequent and severe weather events. Daher is preparing its sites and operations to be resilient in the face of these challenges.
Thus, Daher places decarbonization and climate adaptation at the heart of its strategy for a sustainable future in aerospace.
