Thales accelerates supply chain decarbonization with Sweep and Capgemini Invent

Thales, the global technology leader in the markets of defence, aerospace and space, cyber and digital, is teaming up with Sweep and Capgemini to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its global supply chain.

Through a 3-year strategic partnership signed at the 2025 Paris Air Show, Thales’ goal is to collect emissions data from its worldwide supplier network and refine its carbon footprint calculations.

To achieve this, Thales Procurement will leverage Sweep’s market-leading sustainability data management software. Capgemini Invent will support the integration and help monitor action plans with Thales’ highest-emitting suppliers. This structured approach is designed to drive measurable impact.

The Thales-Sweep-Capgemini partnership reflects Thales’ strong commitment to a more sustainable aerospace industry with a clear ambition and SBTi-validated target: to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 15% by 2030.

Sweep’s CEO and co-founder Rachel Delacour said:
“Strong sustainability management is a fundamental lever for growth and value-creation. By accelerating its existing work to cut the carbon footprint of its global value chain, Thales is showing leadership within the aerospace industry and beyond. Sustainability must be aligned with business strategy, and true impact demands collaboration across the entire value chain. We at Sweep are looking forward to working with Thales and Capgemini to achieve this goal.”
