Our CSR Commitments
At Airbus Protect, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a strategic pillar essential to our sustainability and transformation. Aware of the environmental context and growing expectations in terms of ethics, diversity, and human rights, we have chosen to act with commitment and transparency. Our vision is to build a business model where economic performance goes hand-in-hand with a positive social impact and environmental preservation.
