蘇伊士發(fā)布新的可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標(biāo)
· 今天,蘇伊士集團(tuán)發(fā)布其面向2027年及之后的新的可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標(biāo)。這些目標(biāo)圍繞氣候、生物多樣性和社會(huì)責(zé)任三大支柱,共包含24項(xiàng)承諾。
· 在氣候承諾方面,集團(tuán)正在制定一套適用于全球業(yè)務(wù)的方案。該方案包含三個(gè)重要的著力點(diǎn):
1) 為能源脫碳作出貢獻(xiàn):在2023年及整個(gè)規(guī)劃期內(nèi),實(shí)現(xiàn)集團(tuán)歐洲業(yè)務(wù)用電的自給自足;在2030年前將可再生能源占集團(tuán)能源消耗總量的比例從目前24%的平均水平提高到全球業(yè)務(wù)70%、歐洲業(yè)務(wù)100%。
2) 減少集團(tuán)業(yè)務(wù)及其價(jià)值鏈上溫室氣體(GHG)的排放總量:在2030年前將集團(tuán)水務(wù)業(yè)務(wù)的排放量減少近40%,在2030年前將固廢業(yè)務(wù)的排放量減少至少25%(不包括廢轉(zhuǎn)能業(yè)務(wù))。
3) 改造集團(tuán)運(yùn)營(yíng)的最高優(yōu)先級(jí)和最具脆弱性的項(xiàng)目,使其適應(yīng)氣候變化的影響。
· 在社會(huì)責(zé)任方面,集團(tuán)希望聯(lián)合各地社區(qū)促進(jìn)本地就業(yè)和發(fā)展,為負(fù)責(zé)任的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展作出貢獻(xiàn),并通過(guò)員工持股計(jì)劃鼓勵(lì)員工的發(fā)展和參與。
· 除了氣候和社會(huì)責(zé)任兩大支柱之外,集團(tuán)還在生物多樣性領(lǐng)域加大投入力度,并就此提出了10項(xiàng)具體的承諾。
· 集團(tuán)制定了43項(xiàng)績(jī)效指標(biāo),并建立了一套堅(jiān)實(shí)的治理框架,專(zhuān)門(mén)用于監(jiān)督上述承諾的履行。集團(tuán)每年將公開(kāi)披露所有指標(biāo),以報(bào)告其在上述承諾方面所取得的進(jìn)展。
***
蘇伊士集團(tuán)董事長(zhǎng)兼首席執(zhí)行官蘇冰嵐(Sabrina Soussan)表示:“通過(guò)發(fā)布新的路線(xiàn)圖,我們重申了可持續(xù)發(fā)展在蘇伊士發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略中的核心地位。如今,蘇伊士已在氣候變化政策和社會(huì)責(zé)任方面提出了新的承諾,其中還包括生物多樣性和自然資源保護(hù)方面雄心勃勃的目標(biāo)。”
***
蘇伊士通過(guò)開(kāi)展水的循環(huán)管理以及固廢資源管理業(yè)務(wù),在解決社區(qū)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展問(wèn)題方面發(fā)揮著關(guān)鍵的作用。
按照2022 年 9 月提出的新企業(yè)發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略,蘇伊士決意邁出更大的步伐,進(jìn)一步為三大支柱制定雄心勃勃的目標(biāo)。這是蘇伊士首次在氣候、生物多樣性保護(hù)和社會(huì)責(zé)任三大領(lǐng)域做出同等堅(jiān)定的承諾。

SUEZ unveils its new sustainability goals
***
· SUEZ has unveiled today its new sustainable development goals for 2027 and beyond, through 24 commitments revolving around three pillars: climate, biodiversity and social responsibility.
· In terms of climate commitments, the Group is developing a global approach across three levers:
1) Contributing to decarbonising energy: reaching electrical self-sufficiency in Europe in 2023 and throughout the duration of the plan; between now and 2030, raising the proportion of renewable energy as a share of the Group’s total electricity consumption to 70% worldwide and 100% in Europe, compared to the current average of 24%.
2) Reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as those of its value chain: reduction of emissions from its water activities by almost 40% by 2030 and from its waste activities by more than 25% by 2030 (excluding energy from waste).
3) Adapting top-priority and vulnerable sites operated by the Group to the effects of climate change.
· On the social front, the Group wishes to contribute to a responsible economy through employment and local development within communities, as well as encourage the development and engagement of its people through employee share ownership.
· Alongside the climate and social responsibility pillars, the Group is stepping up its initiatives in the field of biodiversity, with 10 specific commitments.
· A solid governance framework has been created through 43 performance indicators dedicated to monitoring the implementation of these commitments. All the indicators will be shared once a year to publicly communicate on the progress made by the Group with respect to these commitments.
***
Sabrina Soussan, Chairman and CEO of SUEZ, says: “With this new roadmap, we are reaffirming the central role of sustainable development in the SUEZ strategy. SUEZ is today setting out its pledges with a fresh new ambition around climate change policy and social responsibility, also including ambitious goals in terms of preservation of biodiversity and natural resources.”
***
Through its business activities in water cycle management and waste recycling and recovery, SUEZ plays a key role in addressing communities’ sustainability issues.
Under its new corporate strategy presented in September 2022, SUEZ wishes to go even further by setting ambitious goals on each of the three pillars. For the very first time, SUEZ is making equally strong commitments in each of the three areas of climate, biodiversity and the preservation of social responsibility.
The Group consequently makes the following commitments:
a) Climate
- Contribute to decarbonising energy, by:
o Increasing the proportion of renewable energy as a share of the Group’s total consumption, to 70% worldwide and 100% in Europe by 2030, compared to the current average of 24%, by harnessing its own power generation capacities and new renewable energy supply contracts (solar and wind power).
o Increasing electricity generation on the Group’s own sites with the ambitious target of becoming self-sufficient for electricity in 2023 in Europe, and to remain as such throughout the plan.
o Contributing to communities’ low-carbon transition, by enabling communities to benefit from a locally sourced and renewable energy generated by the Group’s waste management activities and, furthermore, by reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by its own energy consumption.
- Reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own activities and from the sites that the Group operated on behalf of its clients:
o Cut the emissions of its Water activities by 40% by 2030, by improving the operational and energy efficiency of its operational process.
o Cut the emissions of its Waste activities by 25% by 2030 (excluding energy from waste).
o Improve, through innovation, the environmental performances of its energy from waste activities: the Group will invest an extra 40 million euros in its R&D programme dedicated to carbon capture and storage (CCS).
- Lastly, adapt the most exposed sites to the consequences of climate change: the Group undertakes to cover 100% of its high-priority and vulnerable sites between now and 2027 through an established and funded action plan.
b) Conservation of biodiversity
To reduce the impact of its activities, the Group is making commitments that address the five direct drivers of biodiversity loss as identified by IPBES:
- Combating soil artificialization: the Group pledges to double each year up to 2027 the restored land that it operates.
- Resource use and over-exploitation: between now and 2027 in all its new drinking water supply contracts, the Group will propose a water saving programme aiming to save up to 10% of water supplied. The Group also aims to ensure that 100% of drinking water activities in water stressed zones are covered by a water saving plan. In terms of waste management, the Group intends to improve waste sorting in its facilities.
- Climate change: see Group’s commitments on climate.
- Pollution: between now and 2027, the Group will stop using phytosanitary products on all the sites that it owns or operates, and will propose whenever possible, in all its new wastewater treatment contracts, solutions to eliminate microplastics and micropollutants.
- Invasive exotic species: between now and 2027, the Group will systematically use local species in all its restoration and landscaping operations.
c) Social responsibility
With its partners and clients, the Group undertakes to seek a balance between human and economic development, as well as increase the positive impact of its activities, in particular in the following areas:
- Meet the target of zero severe accidents in the area of occupational health and safety.
- Contribute to a responsible economy through employment and local development within communities, specifically:
o by increasing the proportion of local companies among the Group’s suppliers,
o by allowing 5,000 people per year by 2027 to benefit from our social integration programs,
o by increasing the proportion of expenditure channelled towards inclusive organisations, for example those which employ disadvantaged people.
- Encourage the development and engagement of its employees: following a first step in 2022 which took employee share ownership to 3% of the company’s share capital, the Group will increase the employee shareholding to 10% by 2029. Furthermore, the Group has set itself the goal, as of 2023, of offering 80% of its employees an annual training opportunity.
These commitments will be implemented across all the Group’s activities and in all the geographies in which it operates. It will be supported by a solid governance framework at Group level. The Executive Committee will oversee the delivery of the roadmap, and the Group’s shareholders will monitor its deployment by means of a quarterly CSR committee made up of representatives. Within the framework of the annual non-financial performance statement of the Group, an annual review of the roadmap will be prepared including an audit by an independent third party of the main commitments.
