    Critères ESG : la guerre en Ukraine change la donne pour le secteur de l’armement

    Alors qu'elles se montraient jusque-là réfractaires à financer une industrie de la défense jugée peu conforme aux critères socialement responsables (ESG), certaines banques européennes ont changé de position après l'invasion russe de l'Ukraine. « L'industrie de la défense doit continuer à être bien financée, et les efforts des banques françaises, parmi les plus actives dans le monde dans ce domaine, le démontrent », considère la Fédération bancaire française. « Alors que nous alertons sur les difficultés de financement rencontrées par les industriels depuis deux ans maintenant, au niveau national et européen, nous observons un changement de perception générale », indique aux Echos Jan Pie, le secrétaire général de l'ASD (AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe). Les valeurs des industries de Défense, comme Dassault Aviation et Thales, qui s'étaient vues exclure en novembre dernier, comme douze autres sociétés du secteur, de la politique d'investissement du premier fonds de pension norvégien (KLP), ont considérablement augmenté, relèvent Les Echos.

    Northrop Grumman Awarded Contract for Remote Sensing Proof of Concept

    MCLEAN, Va. – September 23, 2019 – Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has received a contract award from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) for a proof of concept demonstration referred to as FireWatch. This contract will allow Northrop Grumman's Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, installed at CAL FIRE, to receive fire detection and location information from fused remote sensing data, enabling early detection so that first responders can take quicker action against fires as they emerge. “Being able to take rapid action against wildfires can prevent the loss of human life, property and infrastructure, while also preserving the environment and watersheds of California,” said Chris Williams, vice president, integrated fires and protective systems, Northrop Grumman. “FireWatch will demonstrate to CAL FIRE the value of up-to-the-minute remote sensing data to significantly expand their CAD capabilities.” The ability to share remote sensing data aided in the response to California's devastating fires in November 2018. With support from Northrop Grumman, U.S. government agencies were able to share information rapidly as fires changed course or new flare-ups emerged. This contract will formalize the delivery of these capabilities, thereby enabling CAL FIRE to respond even more proactively and decisively to the threat of wildfires. Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in autonomous systems, cyber, C4ISR, space, strike, and logistics and modernization to customers worldwide.
