Thales reaffirms its commitment to gender equality and diversity by signing up to the 7 Women's Empowerment Principles established by the United Nations Global Compact and UN Women, to promote women's roles in the business world and ensure gender equality.

We must continue to encourage more women to pursue careers in science and mathematics - starting at an early age - to provide them with the same career opportunities as men and enable them to thrive in a safe and inclusive working environment. Thales has made encouraging progress, but we need to accelerate our efforts to achieve gender equality at all levels, said Patrice Caine, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Thales.

Since 2017, Thales has implemented a Gender Diversity Action Plan to accelerate the recruitment of women across all its professions, support their development through dedicated mentoring programmes, and enhance their promotion to the highest levels of responsibility while increasing their representation on Management Committees.

By the end of 2023, women held 20.4% of leadership positions at Thales, compared to 16.5% in 2018. In parallel, 86.8% of the company's Management Committees included at least three women, up from 49% in 2018.

The company's target for 2026 is to have 22.5% of leadership roles filled by women and at least 75% of Management Committees comprising at least four women. For more information on Thaless initiatives supporting gender equality and diversity, please consult the 2023-2024 Integrated Report.
