Thales in Brazil

Thales has been present in Brazil for 55 years and has more than 1200 employees. Thales headquarters is located in São Bernardo do Campo (SP), the company counts with four additional offices – in São Paulo (SP), São José dos Campos (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Brasilia (DF) – and three manufacturing plants – in São Bernardo do Campo (SP) Omnisys, Thales subsidiary, industrial unit dedicated to Defence and Avionics activities, in Pinhais (PR) producing bank cards, SIM Cards and electronic documents of high-quality polycarbonate, and in Barueri (SP) responsible for bank card personalization.  
With more than a half-century presence, Thales in Brazil has built a long-term partnership with the local Armed Forces – Army, Air Force and Navy and also has strong relationships with other government and national agencies, banks, telecommunications, airlines and technology companies to provide state-of-the-art technology solutions. 

Thales is continuously dedicated to addressing inclusion, diversity and gender equality seriously and respectfully. Valuing the relationship with all the women who work at Thales do Brasil and with the community where we operate, our company acts with transparency in communication and follows the new Brazilian legislation by publishing the Salary Transparency and Remuneration Criteria Report, established by Law no. 14,611/2023. In accordance with the guidelines of the Ministry of Women and the Ministry of Labor and Employment, we are presenting data referring to the 4 CNPJs registered in Brazil with more than 100 employees, covering our factories and offices.
  
This law presents numbers and aims to promote egalitarian realities and justice in the labor market. However, it is up to Thales do Brasil to highlight that the numbers presented in the reports generated by the Ministry of Labor and Employment do not accurately represent our current scenario. The reports are based on information from the Brazilian Classification of Occupations (CBO) and the Major Groups of Occupations, which does not allow for a fair salary comparison in this format, as it does not take into account the nature of the functions, the area of activity, length of service, work in the company or in the role performed, skills and individual productivity. For example: more than 80% of our operational workforce in production is women. On the other hand, as we are a Technology company, we have a large Engineering team which, unfortunately, still has less than 30% of women, a reflection of the still small participation of women in Technical and Engineering courses, and the markets where we work, sometimes not attractive to female engineers. Therefore, although we have a good salary equalization by positions, when all the numbers are computed together disregarding the positions, on average, women's salaries appear incorrectly as being lower. In any case, we believe in the evolution of this material over the next results presented, in order to better reflect the efforts that the company has been making in diversity and inclusion actions at all levels.

Thales demonstrates concern for gender diversity regardless of Brazilian legislation, developing initiatives to promote equality and diversity in its decisions and initiatives. Diversity groups – such as With (Women in Thales) work on diversity in the day-to-day activities of our units in the Latin American region and have grown considerably in recent years, and have become a powerhouse of social transformation and company culture. We also have clear diversity, equity and inclusion goals that permeate all levels of the company. And, of course, senior management is 100% committed. We continue to work hard to ensure that continuous actions are developed to achieve increasingly positive results in this and all aspects of diversity and fight strongly against any form of racism, difference or discrimination.

Thales do Brasil is available to the authorities so that, together, we can work on methodologies that increasingly demonstrate all the work and commitment to promote equal pay among all male and female employees of the company.
