Contributing through our water and waste businesses
At a time when climate change is increasing water stress in many communities, we are offering solutions to help people use water more efficiently and to create alternative water resources.
We are helping communities reduce their carbon emissions and achieve energy independence by producing partially renewable local energy from waste and sewage sludge.
Promoting and implementing practices that reduce consumption, more efficient technologies and circular solutions to reuse and make the best possible use of the Earth’s finite resources is central to our purpose.
Climate, nature, social: our commitments to go further
At SUEZ, we design, develop and deploy tailored, local solutions – for and with our clients – to preserve what is essential.
Our businesses are at the heart of addressing sustainable development challenges.
Through our actions, we contribute to:
Supporting
Strengthening
Protecting
Our sustainability roadmap sets out a strong ambition: to scale up our contribution to these key challenges wherever we operate and for all our clients.
It adopts an integrated approach, combining climate action, nature protection and social responsibility.
By reducing environmental impacts, supporting climate adaptation, preserving ecosystems, and fostering an inclusive and collaborative culture, we help strengthen local resilience and sustainably improve communities’ quality of life.
Climate: driving decarbonisation and climate resilience
We are taking action to reduce both our carbon footprint and that of our customers, while strengthening the resilience of our operations and the regions where we operate.
1 All revenue associated with activities defined by the SUEZ Green Financing Framework as contributing to the climate change mitigation and adaptation sustainability objectives.
2 Scope 2 market-based.
3 Corresponding – to date – to the weighted average of the targets by activity: -39% for Water activities, -26% for Waste activities (excluding Energy from Waste), -2% for Energy from Waste activities.
4 Previous data not available with the same level of accuracy.
5 1 Climate Dividend = 1 ton of CO₂ equivalent avoided or removed. Climate dividends are untradable, externally verified, extra-financial indicators representing the positive climate impact of a company’s solution. They are distributed to shareholders according to equity. They are NOT carbon credits.
Nature: driving resource preservation and a circular economy
We protect ecosystems and turn water and waste into valued resources for local communities and industry.
1 All revenue associated with activities defined by the SUEZ Green Financing Framework as contributing to the following sustainability objectives: sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, transition to a circular economy, pollution prevention and control.
2 Volume of natural freshwater use avoided through efficiency measures and solutions at SUEZ sites, and the use of alternative water sources (e.g., water reuse, desalination under several conditions).
3 Regenerated resources are materials that were previously considered waste by their producers and have been transformed into valuable resources that re-enter the economy, including solid-recovered fuels and refuse-derived fuels (SRF/RDF).
4 The total energy produced from incinerated and landfilled waste (i.e waste that cannot be practically recovered or recycled).
5 Nature Standards are a set of best practices for sites managed or operated by SUEZ to protect biodiversity and resources while supporting the circular economy.
Social: driving inclusion, engagement, and a collaborative culture
We place people, health and safety at the heart of our priorities. By promoting inclusion, employee engagement, and a collaborative culture, we are committed to creating a lasting positive impact wherever we operate.
1 The selection of targeted employees is based on their responsibilities and level of exposure.
2 Senior management positions refer to the most senior roles within the organization, typically including members of the Executive Committee, senior leadership, and heads of major business units.
Governance: steering at the highest level of the company
Our commitments to sustainable development are managed at the highest level of the company to ensure that CSR criteria are integrated into the Group's strategy.
