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.

GHG from Water activities: Scope 1 + Scope 2 
(kilotons of CO2 eq.) 
1,023 By 2030

2,346 or
-2%
Energy from Waste(1)
activities: investment in carbon capture
- By 2030, investment of tens of millions € for carbon capture Feasibility studies  launched. Several  initiatives underway in France and the UK
Reduce Scope 3 emissions Share of Scope 3 covered by GHG mitigation action plans (%) 2% By 2030, 50% of Scope 3 covered by an action plan 6%

 

 

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.
