OUR OBJECTIVES
• 2022: 10 projects
identified that comply
with the IUCN Standard
for Nature-based
Solutions
• 2025: implementation
of these projects
2022 PROGRESS REPORT
10 solutions identified in
the Group (Middle East,
Brazil, United States,
France)
OUR OBJECTIVES
• 2022: 100% of files
submitted to the Group
Commitments Committee
were analyzed for
biodiversity issues
in consultation with
stakeholders.
• 2025: gradually extend
the review procedure
to files for amounts
below the threshold for
submission to the CDE
Group
2022 PROGRESS REPORT
2022: 80% of the projects
submitted were analyzed
in consultation for
biodiversity issues.
OUR OBJECTIVES
Examine two of the
Group’s activities every
year until 2025
2022 PROGRESS REPORT
Two activities reviewed
in 2022: hydroelectricity
and hydrogen
Implement Nature-based Solutions
Contribution to the implementation of Nature-based Solutions
(NbS) in the regions to act simultaneously on the challenges
of climate change and biodiversity.
AREA 2: CLIMATE CHANGE AREA 3: VALUE CHAIN
DEVELOP AGROFORESTRY IN BRAZIL
In Brazil, agroforestry systems adapted to the rural properties of
the area covered by the São Salvador hydroelectric power plant
have been developed to promote sustainable and economically
viable agricultural production, in line with the conservation
of the environment and the rational use of the biodiversity
of the Cerrado region.
The activity of the agroforestry model is centered on the production
of vegetables that cover the soil with plant stock and play the
role of leaves and tree branches in the protection of the soil
Shrubs and essential forest species are planted between
the vegetables In addition to providing organic matter to the
system the shrubs and other species will produce shade and
fruit as well as essential forest elements in the medium and long
term In addition the sustainability of the producers revenues
is improved
All this work reduces the pressure on the existing forest creates
a crop that covers the soil increases awareness of not using fire
and educates in conservation and biodiversity
Analyze the life cycle through the prism of biodiversity
Integration of biodiversity criteria in life-cycle assessments
in order to perform an in-depth analysis of the impacts and
dependencies on biodiversity related to the Group’s activities
throughout the value chain with a view to identifying the
issues and the appropriate solutions to tackle them.
Make the “avoid-reduce-offset” (ARO) approach a reality
Implementation of the “avoid reduce offset” workflow
in development projects submitted to the Commitments
Committee (CDE) globally and in consultation
with stakeholders.
PROTECT THE ENDEMIC FLORA AT THE “FLOWERING
DESERT” SITE IN CHILE
From the start of its project to build an electrical connection
between northern and central Chile, the ENGIE subsidiary ENGIE,
Transmisora Eléctrica del Norte TEN has been committed to
the protection and conservation of the Flowering Desert site
of the Atacama region classified as a priority by Chile
The soil was collected in order to save the genetic material of
the flora to be replanted once construction has been completed
TEN has been working to protect the flora by placing it in
a nursery after collecting seeds and carrying out germination
tests then by repopulating it in ecologically appropriate areas
This research is particularly pertinent because of the rarity
or the lack of knowledge about the biology and ecology of
the species affected by the management plan and in general
about most of the flora in the Atacama desert
