Biodiversity represents the biological wealth formed by all living organisms and their relationships with their environments. It provides a large number of natural products and “free” services. The protection of biodiversity is vital. Deterioration of biodiversity is now a concern and may result in the decline in the natural resources vital to the group’s businesses.
The SUEZ Group bases its Biodiversity policy on the actions proposed under Convention on Biological Diversity adopted in Rio in 1992.
In 2006, a census of the most fragile zones was conducted in Europe based on Natura 2000, and the zones identified by the PNUE and the WWF in the rest of the world (ecoregions). This process will result in the development of a mapping tool to classify the sensitivity of our activities with respect to biodiversity and the resulting actions.
