Letter from the CEO:
Dear stakeholders,
Corporate responsibility is often considered a box ticking exercise; let me convince you otherwise. For EADS it is clearly not an inconvenient after thought. I am convinced that balancing economic performance with respect for the environment and stakeholders' interest at large, now and for the generations to come, will allow us to build a competitive advantage. Sustainable development is essential for delivering long-term value.
Corporate responsibility is, therefore, fundamental and we are committed to the following broad principles:
- Moving towards eco-efficiency and fostering development of the most advanced green technologies in our fields.
- Developing fruitful relationships with stakeholders, in particular customers, employees and suppliers, as reliable partners.
- Sustaining economic performance while promoting benchmark ethical standards.
