Dassault Systèmes Impact Report
The 2025 Dassault Systèmes Impact Report highlights our sustainability strategy, ESG performance and measurable impact across our operations and customer ecosystem. Discover how virtual twins, AI and the Generative Economy help industries imagine, test and optimize more sustainable products, operations and business models.
Why Sustainability Impact Matters
Our purpose—to provide businesses and people with virtual universes to imagine sustainable innovations capable of harmonizing product, nature and life—recently took on renewed relevance through the launch of 3D UNIV+RSES. By combining virtual twins, modeling and simulation, real-world data and generative AI, we enable organizations to imagine, test and optimize solutions before they exist physically.
We are translating this commitment into measurable contributions, presented throughout this Impact Report, through a sustainability strategy built on three key dimensions: maximizing our positive impact for clients, minimizing our own operational footprint and strengthening our human capital.
At Dassault Systèmes, we are advancing sustainable innovation as a foundation for business resilience. Our 2025 Impact Report is the lens that brings these efforts into focus, from meeting the strongest carbon footprint standards and achieving our own ambitious reduction objectives, to delivering measurable, quantified impact and value across our entire ecosystem.

Our Sustainability Strategy and 2025 Highlights
Dassault Systèmes’ sustainability strategy is built around three complementary dimensions: reducing our own environmental footprint, helping customers create positive impact through our solutions, and strengthening our human capital.
Footprint
Reducing our own environmental footprint through emissions reduction, energy efficiency and responsible operations.
- 50.4%
of purchased emissions come from SBT suppliers
- 78.3%
reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions vs. 2019
Handprint
Helping customers reduce their environmental impact, accelerate sustainable innovation and achieve measurable sustainability outcomes through our solutions.
- 42.9%
of revenue aligned with the EU Taxonomy
- 69.9%
of revenue eligible under the EU Taxonomy
Human Capital
Building an inclusive, ethical and purpose-driven organization through employee engagement, diversity, talent development and responsible governance.
- 76.2%
employee pride and satisfaction score
- 41.7%
women in Executive teams
Sustainability Governance
The Company’s governance ensures that sustainability is embedded at all levels of the organization, with equal commitment to both our footprint and handprint strategies. Sustainability is managed across three levels of the organization.
• Board level: The Board of Directors oversees the Company’s sustainability strategy, led by a dedicated Director for Sustainability Development. Its committees—including the Scientific, Audit and Compensation Committees—integrate sustainability into their respective remits.
• Executive oversight: The EVP Strategy, Industry Marketing & Transformation holds operational responsibility, while the Chief Sustainability Officer, supported by the Global Sustainability Team, coordinates quarterly Sustainability Steering Committee meetings. The CEO and CFO participate annually to validate strategic priorities.
• Operational networks: Cross-functional departments and employee networks drive sustainability initiatives across the organization.
Net Zero Roadmap

Dassault Systèmes has achieved its first SBTi targets ahead of their 2027 deadline and has now set new SBTi-validated targets to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050.
This new validation marks an important evolution of our climate roadmap. Dassault Systèmes had previously announced a carbon neutrality ambition for 2040, before the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard established a more detailed framework for corporate net-zero commitments. Our new targets translate this ambition into a science-based roadmap aligned with the latest SBTi criteria, with a stronger focus on value chain decarbonization and Scope 3 emissions.
The next phase of our roadmap focuses on further reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions, accelerating Scope 3 decarbonization—including emissions from the use of sold products—and supporting customers' sustainable transformation through virtual twins and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
