PARIS, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — 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.
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:
– Reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own activities and from the sites that the Group operated on behalf of its clients:
– 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:
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:
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.
