Our vigorous and diligent approach to corporate social responsibility is accompanied by stringent business ethics, spearheaded by an independent body with a proactive focus on compliance.
Dassault Aviation adheres to strict ethical business standards, in compliance with national laws and international agreements. The Ethics Department, an independent body which reports directly to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is tasked with implementing measures to fight corruption and money laundering, as well as overseeing internal processes designed to ensure compliance with all statutory requirements.
Dassault Aviation has set up a rigorous and highly organized system for ethical compliance, based on the following procedures and tools:
An internal assessment and control process, run by the Audit and Risk Management Department, is also in place to support this system.
To ensure optimum management of the risks of serious harm to the environment, occupational health and safety, human rights and fundamental freedoms, Dassault Aviation has set up a vigilance plan covering its subsidiaries and suppliers. In 2025, more than 365 suppliers underwent assessment under this plan. Duty of care risk assessments ensure that serious breaches of human rights, as well as threats to the health and safety of personnel, are preempted.
Against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tensions, Dassault Aviation is committed to a strict observance of embargoes and sanctions in all its business dealings.
In 2025, more than 870 “at risk” employees received training in the key aspects of the French “Sapin 2” law and in issues of compliance, while a further 4,850 individuals took part in an e‑learning course to raise their awareness about these issues. In addition, each new hire is issued a “compliance passport.”
