Key objectives
“The parties, aware of the economic and social importance of integrating young people through training, intend through this agreement to improve the existing mechanisms by continuing the efforts of the 2013 and 2017 agreements.
(…)
The agreement recognises the importance of the aerospace industry in providing jobs and development opportunities for young people, and Safran is fully committed to this sector. Faced with a tense labour market, the major challenges facing the company include the attractiveness of jobs in the aeronautics industry, retention, diversity and inclusion, as well as decarbonisation and sovereignty linked to its activities.”.

This agreement applies from the date of signature and is concluded for a period of five years. It may be renewed by express agreement between the parties.
Implementation and dissemination
“The signatory parties agree on the need for dialogue between local management and staff representatives concerning the application of this Agreement. To this end, a joint meeting of the members of the Monitoring Committee and the HR teams of the European entities will be organised within 6 months of signature of this agreement in order to examine the terms of this deployment. Communication to the Human Resources teams of the companies and local teams will be organised within 6 months of signature of the agreement.
A presentation will be organised for local staff representatives, who will be involved in promoting this agreement within their own area. It will be organised by the local Departments, which may ask the members of the Monitoring Committee or the Social Affairs Department to help on this subject. Action plans will be drawn up between local management and trade unions and/or employee representative bodies, and implemented in compliance with current national legislation and practices. These plans will build on existing programmes and commitments. These plans will be implemented within 9 months of signature, in cases where they do not already exist.
In the first year, communication will be established with all employees and entities in the various countries concerned to promote this agreement locally and in the language of the country. This attractive and digital communication will raise employee awareness of what they can do to help integrate young people and ensure that young people are well informed about what is available to them. This agreement will also be available on the Group’s intranet. Information materials relating to the signing of this agreement will be produced in the languages of the countries listed in Annex 1."
