Biodiversity: SUEZ's commitments recognized by act4nature international

Preserving natural resources and biodiversity is one of the three pillars of SUEZ's sustainable development roadmap. As a signatory to the act4nature international framework, SUEZ adheres to the common commitments defined by this initiative and submits its individual commitments – including those already announced in 2023 as part of its roadmap:

• Taking action to address the five pressures identified by IPBES  as being responsible for biodiversity decline. For example, SUEZ is committed to deploying biodiversity action plans across all its priority sites  by 2027, and to using only local species for all of its renaturation and landscaping operations. 
  
  
• Accelerating the development of solutions that help to regenerate natural environments. The Group is committed to increasing the annual turnover it generates from these solutions. For example, SUEZ offers customers its Zone libellule® (“Dragonfly Zone”) solution, consisting of additional wastewater treatment using natural ecological processes. 
  
  

SUEZ is also making new commitments to: 

• Making biodiversity an even more integral part of its strategy. By 2027, 70% of the Group’s projects will be assessed on biodiversity criteria.
  
  
• Increasing stakeholder engagement. The Group is committed to establishing targeted partnerships, promoting the circular economy and water conservation at international events; and increasing biodiversity training for employees.
