Concluding thoughts and 2024 Challenges This year’s achievements are a testament to the strong collaboration between all participants from all divisions. Digital has contributed to the Company’s success by delivering the targeted added value to Airbus, its partners, and customers. In 2024, the Company’s ambition will remain unchanged: be the digital engine of sustainable aerospace for a safe, united world. The Company will endeavour to remove data boundaries to create a seamless data-driven world, enabling end-to-end decision-making and supporting the ramp-up in the Company’s production rates. The past few years have shown how important resilience is. Digital will do its best to make Airbus digitally adaptable and strong, with cybersecurity capabilities at its core and will endeavour to unleash cloud and sovereign capabilities. The Company must continue its work to decarbonise the industry. Contributing to the emergence of a lower-emissions aviation sector is one of Digital’s responsibilities, and the Company will continue to work hard to provide the means to meet emissions targets with new monitoring systems, material traceability, and new sustainable aviation solutions for its customers.

Google and Airbus continue to partner to further improve the functionalities of Google Workspace. Gmail has been deployed to all the employees of the Company (except in Airbus Defence and Space Germany where the migration will start soon). This Google collaboration solution is very well adopted within Airbus Commercial Aircraft where 65,000 users (53%) do not have Microsoft Office anymore. To reach the next level, Airbus has engaged in deep discussions with French (ANSSI) and other European authorities to allow Export Controlled and National Security Unclassified data to be stored in Google Workspace. In order to reach this level, data tagging and sovereign encryption solutions will be required. Finally, to retire a maximum of Microsoft Office licences, the Company continues to invest in transforming its applications and core IT infrastructure (such as SAP) to be compatible with Google Workspace. Modern workplace Airbus is working towards developing a more efficient and resilient workplace, aimed at improving employee productivity from anywhere, anytime and from any device, thanks to its modern devices management programme. The first deployments of modern Windows 11 devices will start at the beginning of 2024. Also, the modern workplace is now even further improved with smartphone deployment initiated in 2022, to enable seamless communication and collaboration between all our employees. This deployment was completed within Airbus Commercial Aircraft, with more than 62,000 employees equipped with a smartphone.
