The Climate pillar of the Group’s 2023-2027 Sustainable Development Roadmap was developed through a global approach, based on 3 levers: reducing the Group’s greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening its commitment to producing green energy from our activities and increasing the share of sustainable electricity in the Group’s consumption. We know the trajectory we must follow, and we will do what it takes to achieve it.
Our commitments
Contribute to decarbonising energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting our most exposed sites to climate change
Our "Climate" approach is based on 3 levers :
> Contributing to energy decarbonisation
2021 baseline updated including 2022 acquisitions (R&R UK, EnviroServ and IWS France) and in line with GHG protocol principles.

1) Energy recovery from non-hazardous waste, hazardous waste and RDF/SRF.
(2) This target will be revised upwards depending on the inclusion of energy recovery in the EU ETS and the definition of a sectoral trajectory.
