Sustainability

Reduce our carbon footprint related to energy consumption by continuing to adapt our behaviour and facilities, adopting more energy efficient solutions and significantly reducing the use of fossil fuels.

The commitment made as part of the purpose-driven company targets the reduction of the carbon footprint linked to the Group’s energy consumption, which accounts for 94% of scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions in the carbon footprint.

In 2023, the energy consumption of buildings was reduced by 13% compared to 2021, thanks in particular to renovation work on the building portfolio started in 2016, new certified buildings aiming for very good thermal performance and further environmental responsibility training for teams.

In addition, these objectives to reduce and decarbonise the Group’s energy consumption are directly linked to the low-carbon roadmap defined for 2031 as part of Clariane’s 2023 commitment to join the Science Based Targets initiative. This joint initiative of the United Nations, the World Resources Institute and WWF aims to promote the adoption by companies of carbon strategies aligned with the Paris Agreement. The Group’s low-carbon energy roadmap for 2031, compatible with global warming of less than 1.5 degrees, has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative in July 2024.
