Focusing our Actions to Meet our Planet's Challenges

Sovereignty is the first prerequisite for an inclusive and sustainable model of society and a sustainable world.

To drive our journey towards a more sustainable world, we have set specific and measurable environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives for the next five years. Our 2022 sustainability report first introduced our ESG roadmap and our 12 strategic sustainability objectives. We defined these after analysing our current practices and issues, and validated them in consultation with our project teams, ESG managers and top management. We will update our goals as necessary to reflect our evolving progress.

Address environmental impact and protect our planet

In relation to environmental sustainability, MBDA aims to be an exemplary defence player in the fight against climate change, moving towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We have set clear objectives with respect to emissions, renewable energy, waste management and biodiversity.

Create an attractive work place and promote social value

MBDA strives to be an attractive employer for new recruits and to create an environment in which our people can develop and achieve their ambitions. We have set objectives to further improve work safety, broaden employee learning and augment gender equality, diversity and inclusion.

At MBDA, we believe that our people are our most important asset, and their health, safety and wellbeing is our top priority. We want to provide safe working conditions and ensure the wellbeing of all our employees, visitors and service providers. 

We embrace the depth and breadth of ideas and experience that come from all members of the wider community. We reach out to them by volunteering and contributing to charities, and providing science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) support to young people. 

Ensure the integrity of our practices and value chain

Part of our mission is to always abide by the highest ethical and professional standards. Managing our business with integrity is one way to contribute to lasting prosperity. It’s a sign that we care for all our stakeholders in every country where we operate. 

We have established an ESG committee with executive involvement and set ourselves voluntary governance objectives in terms of compliance and corporate ethics. These aim to ensure strict ethical compliance within the Group, our first tier-suppliers and throughout the value chain.
