We aim for excellence, and constantly challenge ourselves and our methods. We place great value on honesty and clarity: our consumer advertising is based on proven performance and scientific data. We are committed to building strong and lasting relationships with our customers and our suppliers, founded on trust and mutual benefit.

We believe in offering our employees a stimulating environment, exciting personal opportunities and a chance to make a difference. We encourage an atmosphere of openness, courage, generosity and respect, so that all our employees feel free to come forward with their questions, ideas and concerns.

LORAL has always had strong values which have shaped our culture and built our reputation. Our core values are integrity, respect and excellence. We are judged not only on what we do but also on the way we do it. All that we have done and all we continue to do is voluntary and proactive. Ethics gives us a shared vision and references. Quite simply, we believe that the global leaders of tomorrow are those companies who have not only integrated ethics into their strategic planning but also into their day-to-day business practices. At LORAL, we consider that ethics continues where rules end and that we should always ask ourselves not can we do it but should we do it. Ethics therefore allows us to earn and retain the trust of our stakeholders so that together we can grow and contribute usefully to the society in which we live. Our values are present in all aspects of our activities. The most visible examples are of course our strong Sustainable Development and Diversity policies but they are also integrated into less visible aspects such as our Purchasing Departments responsible sourcing policy and our high standards with regards product quality and safety. Why is Diversity a core value for LOral? Diversity is in our DNA and lies at the very heart of our activity. Indeed, the diversity of our teams is one of the keys to success at LOral. Teams that are diversified at all levels and in all areas allow for greater creativity and a better understanding of consumers, and enable us to develop products that measure up to their expectations.
