LOCAL COMMITMENT Thales’ commitment towards South Africa is built through three main initiatives: the development of the local industry, the commitment to the South African both through the employment of local talents and through corporate social responsibility initiatives. Development of the local industry Thales is a member of the South African Aerospace Maritime & Defence Industries Association (AMD). AMD’s primary objectives are the representation of the industry in matters of mutual interest, and the promotion of a profitable, sustainable and responsible industry. The association is acknowledged as the only trade association of South Africa's defence industry (SADI) and is mandated by its members to promote and champion the collective interests of the industry. It comprises a cluster of leading companies in the South African private and public sector that supply defence materiel, products and services. Thales works together with the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS). The SABS provides the platform for quality services and products which is the key differentiator in an increasingly competitive environment. The Thales entity in South Africa holds a qualification approval SABS ISO 9001:2008 certification. Thales has a production facility at its Johannesburg premises. It has a complement of experienced production managers, technicians and artisans. Thales manufactures and integrates electronic, electrical and mechanical systems. The facility complies with health and safety regulations and is also ISO9001:2008 certified. Integration of local talents Thales strategy of developing its footprint in South Africa mainly goes through the employment of local talents. Thales started its Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) transition in 2010 to support the growth strategy of the country to the realisation of the full economic potential of South Africa. In June 2016, Thales transformed its shareholding in its local company to a 51% Black equity with 30% Black Female South African ownership. This brought Thales South Africa (Pty Ltd) to a Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) level 2 status. This transformation illustrates Thales’ commitment for a long term partnership to support growth, value creation & jobs in South Africa. On a regular basis, Thales is proposing internships to undergraduates or students requiring hands on experience in a workplace environment.
