COMMITMENT STRATEGY
Aware of the need to mitigate its own impacts on nature, ENGIE is committed to the fight against the
global erosion of biodiversity. ENGIE takes a global approach, from project design to the end of life of a
site, ensuring dialog with its stakeholders. The Group has defined a 2020-2030 roadmap whose targets
and commitments are included in the act4nature international and
Entreprises Engagées pour la Nature
programs. Performance progress is measured annually and is published in official documents
(website, Universal Registration Document and Integrated Report). Part of its results is verified
by outside auditors.
Define priority sites for biodiversity
Continued development of action plans for sites located
in or near biodiversity hotspots using the new definition
of a priority site and now including all sites located
near a protected area, with no exceptions. This applies
to 80% of sites, compared to the 20% covered by the
previous criteria.
Opt for ecological site management
Implementation of ecological site management for all of the
Group’s industrial activities, with no phytosanitary products
used and maintenance of green spaces in harmony with
nature (differentiated landscaping).
OUR OBJECTIVES
• 2025: 50% of priority
sites with action
plans established in
consultation with
stakeholders
• 2030: 100% of priority
sites equipped with
action plans established
in consultation with
stakeholders concerned
60% of action plans
deployed by the end
of 2022
2022 PROGRESS REPORT
AREA 1: FOOTPRINT AND ECOLOGICAL CONTINUITY
OUR OBJECTIVES
• 2025: 50% of sites
• 2030: 100% of
sites
2022 PROGRESS REPORT
As of the end of 2022,
34% of industrial sites
are maintained without
phytosanitary products and
in compliance with local
biodiversity programs.
PROTECTION OF THE VEGETATION ON A WIND
FARM SITE
Since 2012 the Cape Scott Canada wind farm site has
been committed to protecting the surrounding vegetation in
accordance with an action plan adapted to the expectations of
the native populations reluctant to use any chemical products
In this context manual scrub clearing must be used along the roads
and electric transmission line Herbicides must not be used and
personnel are trained in the manual removal of invasive species
As for trees and large bushes they must be toppedpruned as
needed along the corridor of the transport line without touching
the endemic bushes and species
MINIMIZE THE ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT
OF THE FOS CAVAOU LNG TERMINAL
In order to reduce its carbon footprint and increase respect
for environment, the LNG terminal at Fos Cavaou (France)
selected a particularly innovative solution for water treatment.
Based on marine biopolymers, i.e. sugars naturally produced
by marine bacteria, this fully biodegradable solution
limits the formation of biofouling the phenomenon of
surface colonization in an aqueous environment by living
organisms Simple to use it is injected directly into the sea
water circuit It reduces the use of chlorine by more than 90
preserves the facilities and avoids any ecotoxicity
This ecoresponsible choice was made possible thanks
to the completion of a research project led by Elengy
inpartnership with Polymaris a company that specializes
inblue biotechnologies and with ENGIE Lab Crigen
