Paris, France, June 23, 2023 - During the 2023 Paris Air Show, Ausy (now Randstad Digital) signed a letter of intent with Thales, a global technology leader in the areas of defence and security, aeronautics and space, and digital identity and security, agreeing to work together to tackle climate change in their respective value chains.
Thales is working with its strategic suppliers to achieve its CO2 emissions reduction targets for 2030, which have been validated by the SBTi and are compatible with the objectives of the Paris Agreement:
- a 50% reduction of CO2 emissions in absolute value related to its operational processes (Scope 1) and energy consumption (Scope 2)
- a 15% reduction CO2 emissions in absolute value related to its supply chain and the use of its products by customers (Scope 3)
Thales aims to achieve net zero operations-related CO2 emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2040.
“As part of our Strategy for a Low-Carbon Future, procurement teams across Thales are working diligently with growing numbers of key suppliers to reduce the carbon footprint of our respective value chains. We will only meet our ambitious objectives by working hand-in-hand with our suppliers to promote energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources, optimise our processes and logistics operations, and adopt the principles of eco-design for our new products.”
"We are very proud that the Thales Group, of which Randstad Digital is a strategic partner, has renewed its confidence through the projects we are working on together. As a preferred supplier, we support Thales in its objectives to reduce CO² emissions, with the implementation of a system clearly focused on the fight against global warming. We have been working alongside Thales on strategic projects for over 20 years, and the signing of this letter of intent marks the lasting extension of a partnership that is both industrial and ecologically oriented."
Thales has already reviewed and approved the action plans of more than 150 of its most emissive suppliers, which include measurable goals and timelines for reducing carbon emissions, and expects to complete this process in 2023. As of June 2023, more than 40 suppliers have signed letters of intent to take action in support of Thales’s carbon footprint trajectory.
