We believe trust cannot exist without security

This is why we harness our collective intelligence and creativity to make the world safer and more secure for all. Across mobility, space, homeland protection, and the security of critical infrastructure and enterprise information systems, the sectors we serve play a vital role in society.

We support our customers in their decisive moments, helping them manage increasing complexity and make faster, more effective decisions—whether in routine situations, crises, on battlefields, in cities, or from the ocean depths to the frontiers of space and cyberspace.

We believe technology drives progress

If people can travel, learn and interact, and if institutions can count on us to ensure uninterrupted flows of people and data, it's because our technology lets them do it in ever greater safety and security.

By transforming innovative technology into resilient, sustainable solutions, we help our customers navigate uncertainty and expand what’s possible.

In an ever-changing world, we look ahead and analyse emerging trends to ensure that worldwide flows of people, goods and data are never compromised.

We believe in the power of the imagination and professional rigour...

...to systematically push back our limits and transcend the challenges of our times. We strive to go the extra mile in everything we do. Although our professional universe is governed by tried and proven methods and systems, we also have the courage to explore uncharted territory.

In our choice of technologies and how we work with our partners to tackle complex issues, we are capable of making bold decisions, often playing a pioneering role. We can act with assurance because our methods have proven their worth and because we're not afraid to show who we are — motivated, energetic, imaginative people with a rigorous approach, unflagging determination and the insight to accept that people's lives and livelihoods may depend on us.

We are passionate about science and technology

But we also believe that human beings need to remain at the centre of the systems and solutions we develop, come what may.

This is why we strive to build long-term relationships with our customers, working with them from system design to equipment maintenance to ensure they remain in control at all times. In the field of Artificial Intelligence, which has tremendous possibilities but also raises some concerns, Thales is an advocate of "trusted AI": an AI that is transparent, understandable and ethical.

We believe that innovation should be open, shared and sustainable

This is why we work with universities and research institutes all over the world, and with other major corporations, as well as smaller businesses and start-ups. It's also why we are committed to sharing our talent and expertise with civil society, and particularly with those who risk being left behind by technological progress. It’s by sharing the extraordinary technological advances of today that we will create a future in which everyone can actively contribute to changing the world.

We believe that incorporating environmental factors into product development helps to drive innovation forward, creating value for our customers and helping achieve long-term resilience in a complex and uncertain world.

We believe that strength lies in diversity and inclusion

We refuse to accept any form of discrimination on the grounds of gender, origins, age, political or religious opinions, union membership or personal disability. We are intent on building an inclusive working environment and actively encourage people from different backgrounds and cultures to work together, because we see diversity and inclusion as key enablers of innovation and performance.

We have inherited the legacy of the men and women who have forged our strength for over a century by constantly adapting to a changing world, and whose ambition, courage and conviction have made Thales one of the world's most respected companies. Today, we are continuing to unleash this potential, and harnessing the tremendous power of technology to build a future that everybody can trust.
