Thales makes the CDP Climate A-list for the second consecutive year
Thales reaffirms its place among the companies that are leading the way forward in environmental transparency and commitment on climate change by being listed once again in the Climate A-List drawn up by CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project).
The annual CDP scores are considered the global benchmark on companies' environmental transparency and their actions to raise climate awareness and mitigate the risks associated with climate change. The scores also recognise the best practices in place within these organisations. In 2024, more than 24,800 organisations submitted their environmental data to the CDP for rating.
Thales ranks among the top 2% of companies that obtained an "A" score, out of a total of 22,700 that were rated in 2024.
This score reflects the Group's proactive engagement with climate change over the last several years, the robust action it has taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and its consistent strategy for a low-carbon future, which was first introduced in 2018.
In 2024, Thales also joined Euronext’s CAC 40 ESG index, an endorsement that reflects the Group's accelerating progress in terms of social and environmental responsibility.
This second "A" rating from the CDP is a fantastic mark of recognition for Thales teams. I would like to extend my gratitude to all of them for their commitment and continuous efforts to deploy our strategy for a low-carbon future across all our operations. At Thales, we continue to leverage the power of technology to reduce not only our environmental footprint but also that of our clients.

CDP at a glance
Formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project, CDP is a global non-profit that runs the world’s environmental disclosure system for companies. Fully aligned with the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures), CDP holds the largest environmental database in the world, and its scores are widely used to drive investment and procurement decisions towards a zero-carbon, sustainable and resilient economy.
CDP uses a detailed, independent methodology to score organisations on three themes: climate change, forests and water security. Scores ranging from A to F are attributed on the basis of the exhaustiveness of the disclosures and the organisation's environmental risk mitigation performance. Additional criteria include environmental awareness and leadership and the organisation's record of setting ambitious, meaningful environmental objectives.
