Social
Dassault Systèmes vision for sustainable innovation puts people at the heart of everything we do. As a company, we firmly believe that The Only Progress is Human, and are committed to generating positive social impact.
Diversity & Inclusion
As a company with nearly 20,000 employees representing 130 nationalities on 131 sites worldwide, Dassault Systèmes is committed to maintaining a diverse workforce and an inclusive environment in which truly disruptive innovations can be imagined and delivered.
Part of this commitment relies on the implementation and continuous improvement of our policies relating to disability.
Disability agreement
Dassault Systèmes commits to long-term and increasingly inclusive disability policies through the approval of its sixth consecutive agreement.
Gender diversity is also central to our diversity & inclusion policies. In fact, gender representation criteria are integrated into the variable remuneration scheme of the Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. Moreover, as part of the Gender Equality Index under French Law:
- Dassault Systèmes SE achieved an overall score of 94 points out of 100.
- Dassault Data Services SAS achieved an overall score of 81 points out of 100.
- Dassault Systèmes Provence SAS achieved an overall score of 67 points out of 100
Labor standards
At Dassault Systèmes, we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. This includes taking concrete steps towards the removal of slavery and human trafficking from our business and supplier relationships.
Our response to COVID-19
Dassault Systèmes’ employees are the Company’s most precious asset. They are at the heart of our mission and longterm development. As soon as March 2020, Dassault Systèmes made a commitment to preserve the jobs of its employees by guaranteeing a stable workforce for the year 2020. The Company has also maintained its annual compensation policy and implemented measures to protect the health and safety of its employees.
Dassault Systèmes has rolled out a number of initiatives to support its customers, partners and communities around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the availability of the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform allowed for remote working to ensure the continuity of sustainable innovation projects and programs. Other measures have been taken to support the ecosystem, in particular small and medium-sized companies: as soon as April 2020, the Company has reduced its suppliers’ payment terms and extended its distributors’ payment terms, in both instances to help improve their cash flow.
3DEXPERIENCE Edu
3DEXPERIENCE Edu takes a completely fresh approach to empowering people with the knowledge and know-how needed to thrive in the workplace. Through this initative, Dassault Systèmes helps equip learners with in-demand industry skills for sustainable innovation. It offers an inclusive world where excellence, individual performance and purpose combine with user communities to make learning fun and enjoyable for all.
We aim to build the workforce of the future by opening up new possibilities on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for lifelong learning and for connecting academic institutions with industry to foster employability.
La Fondation Dassault Systèmes
La Fondation Dassault Systèmes places virtual universes at the service of a more sustainable society in order to contribute to transformation in the following fields:

- Research, which is the main provider of solutions for economic, social and environmental challenges, by enabling researchers to push back the limits of knowledge;
