Discover our commitment

Naval Group is committed to a proactive approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Our commitments target four priority areas: the environment, social issues, the naval sector, and ethics and the prevention of corruption.

Moving forward together

Naval Group frames its corporate strategy as a collective and collaborative effort involving its entire ecosystem, both in France and internationally.

Naval Group assumes its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) not only with respect to its stakeholders and society at large, but also as an international player in the naval defence industry.

Naval Group’s commitment to its customers, partners, suppliers and employees is founded on its purpose. This guides our strategy and inspires our day-to-day actions.

Ethics and anti-corruption

Naval Group is committed to promoting a culture of integrity and is constantly stepping up its vigilance in the fight against corruption and influence peddling.

Wherever we do business around the world, we apply a zero-tolerance policy in the fight against corruption and influence peddling. To ensure that all group employees share the same vision of ethics and the behaviour to adopt, Naval Group sets clear rules and ensures they are known to all.

Our ambition: to help prepare the armed forces for climate change

This ambition is reflected in our strategic choices, our innovations, our funding and also in the initiatives of our employees.
Naval Group works with academic and scientific partners to develop our knowledge of the oceans and the seabed.
We are proud partners of the Bougainville mission, a human, scientific and environmental experiment launched in 2023 with Sorbonne University and the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) to study invisible ocean biodiversity on a global scale.

As the first company to join the ranks of the Circle of Major Patrons (Cercle des mécènes bâtisseurs), Naval Group contributed to the renovation of the Musée de la Marine, showcasing the naval industry, its history and its achievements to a wide audience.
We have doubled the number of days employees spend on their duties as operational reservists, in order to further encourage their engagement.

People remain at the heart of our concerns, as evidenced by our actions to promote the recruitment of more women and greater diversity within our teams, as well as the inclusion of each employee: our partnership with the Elles Bougent association, raising employee awareness of various disabilities, training managers in how to deconstruct stereotypes, etc.
Naval Group assumes its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) not only with respect to its stakeholders and society at large, but also as a leader in the naval defence industry, both in France and around the world.
