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.
COMMITMENT | INDICATOR | 2021 PRO FORMA |
OBJECTIVE | RESULTS 2023 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Make our own electricity consumption more sustainable |
Share of sustainable electricity (renewable and recycled) consumption over total Group electricity consumption (%) |
Group: 28% Europe: 27% |
By 2030 Group: 70% Europe: 100% |
23%
|
Reach European electricity self sufficiency |
Share of electricity production (renewable and recycled) over electricity consumption in Europe |
1.36 | By 2027 >1 |
1.53 |
Contribute to the low-carbon energy transition of territories: more emissions avoided (thanks to energy production) than emitted (from consumption |
Share of GHG avoided from energy production over GHG emitted by energy consumption | 0.99 | By 2027 >1 |
0.92 |
> Decarbonising our value chain
COMMITMENT | INDICATOR | 2021 PRO FORMA |
OBJECTIVE | RESULTS 2023 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions |
GHG from Water activities: Scope 1 + Scope 2 (kilotons of CO2 eq.) |
1,023 | By 2030 - 39% |
1,069 or +4% |
GHG from Waste activities excluding waste to energy: Scope 1 + Scope 2 (kilotons of CO2 eq.) |
2,113 | By 2030 - 26% |
1,875 or -11% |
|
GHG from energy from waste activities: Scope 1 + Scope 2 (kilotons of CO2 eq.) |
2,388 | By 2030 - 2% (2) |
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.
> Adapting all priority and vulnerable sites to climate change
COMMITMENT | INDICATOR | 2021 PRO FORMA |
OBJECTIVE | RESULTS 2023 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Adapt our priority and vulnerable sites to climate change | Share of priority and vulnerable sites with a defined action plan |
5% | By 2027 100% |
The exposure to the 28 climate change hazards has been assessed on 100% of the sites |
Our commitments are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
