An ecoresponsible enterprise
As part of our continuous performance improvement initiative, Safran acts responsibly by developing a culture based on the anticipation and prevention of risks. Our overall aim is to ensure the health and safety of all employees, guarantee the safety and security of our facilities, protect the natural environment in which we operate and design products and services that incorporate the requirements of sustainable development.

Clean Sky
Safran has been a major partner in Europe's vast Clean Sky research program since it was launched in 2008, especially concerning engines and aircraft equipment. The aim is to meet the ambitious objectives set in 2012 by the ACARE (Advisory Council for Aviation Research and innovation in Europe) toward 2020. In December 2018, Stéphane Cueille , Senior Executive VP and Chief Technology Officer of Safran, has been elected as Chairman and Deputy Chairman of Clean Sky for two years.

Our actions are designed to
Increase managerial engagement and operational performance
Manage occupational safety
Safeguard occupational health
Protect the environment
Safran rolled out its Health, Safety and Environment reference system in 2012, at all facilities worldwide. This system allows us to better organize risk management and performance improvement. In addition to the ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards, it includes 29 standards concerning specific Safran requirements.
Safran is certified to ISO 14001 for its environmental management system and deploys this methodology as a management tool, used to identify and manage the impact of our activities on the environment. This certification corresponds to a formal commitment to continuous improvement: improving performance depends on more effective management of the risks of pollution, by controlling the liquid or gaseous releases generated by our activities.
At Safran we continuously improve our production and maintenance processes to make them more environmentally-friendly. The design of all aerospace and defense equipment is subject to extremely demanding procedures, to increase their reliability and safety. New manufacturing processes, cleaner and more efficient, are also being applied to limit raw materials waste and increase energy efficiency.
