Dassault Aviation’s primary social responsibility is to serve French national sovereignty, a vital precondition for achieving sustainability goals. In the face of emerging threats, we stand by our dual civil-defense strategy. While taking practical steps to address CSR issues, we remain steadfastly focused on our fundamental priorities.
Dassault Aviation complies with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) which, since 2024, has governed corporate social responsibility in France. Our financial report includes an audited sustainability statement covering these requirements. Going beyond the 1,200 data points set out in the CSRD directive, we have highlighted the vital role we play in safeguarding sovereignty, which is key to achieving sustainability goals.
Dassault Aviation is committed to the worldwide target of carbon neutrality in the aviation sector by 2050.
Business aviation as a whole accounts for 0.04% of global CO2 emissions.
The European taxonomy-which excludes business aviation-and the recent hike in the French tax on airline tickets (TSBA), are just two of the counter‑productive hindrances to our ongoing investment in decarbonization technologies..
In July 2025, the Falcon 8X was the first business jet in the world to earn CO2 certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). It is thus compliant with the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) international decarbonization regulations.
EASA is the first major regulatory authority to have adopted this standard. Compliance with these certification criteria will be mandatory for all civil aircraft manufactured from 2028 onwards.
Following this achievement, Dassault is moving ahead with certification for the Falcon 6X and 2000LXS. The Falcon 10X will be natively compliant with international energy efficiency standards.
Amid the continued expansion of our manufacturing operations, we are improving our energy efficiency on a per‑hour basis and reducing our emissions through an increased use of carbon‑free energy sources.
Dassault Aviation is committed to the French and European goals aimed at ensuring a sustainable supply of critical raw materials and a reduced dependence on imports.
We are pioneers when it comes to the recycling of composite products, working closely with the recycling facilities located near our plants. Thanks to the policies and practices we have put in place, we recycle a very high proportion of our waste.
