Sustainably reduce our carbon footprint and develop solutions to our customers’ environmental problems.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div>

Soletanche Bachy needs cement, concrete, steel and fuel to carry out its projects. These resources generate significant CO2 emissions. We are well aware of the impact our operations and projects have on the environment. That’s why we have made strong commitments to reduce our environmental impact and to implement concrete solutions on our worksites wherever possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our commitments<\/h2><\/div>

At Soletanche Bachy, we believe in reasoned and sustainable growth, which means improving our foundation and soil technology operations and supporting the transformation of our industry by developing new environmental solutions for our clients’ projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To achieve this, we rely on a pragmatic, local Environmental Action Plan, focusing on 3 key areas:<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div>

ENERGY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Reduce our carbon footprint by 40% by 2030<\/strong>
\nby cutting fuel and electricity consumption. (scopes 1 and 2)<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div>

CEMENT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cut our indirect CO2 emissions by 20% by 2030 (scope 3)<\/strong>
\nby reducing our cement consumption, using less concrete and employing cements with a reduced carbon footprint and alternative binders.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div>

WASTE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Minimize waste and maximize recycling and recovery<\/strong>
\n(destruction, storage, recycling).<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our measurement tools<\/h2><\/div>

Each year, we consolidate a set of environmental indicators (fuel consumption, electricity, gas, water, waste, etc.) in a non-financial report.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also measure the carbon footprint of our projects thanks to our in-house life-cycle analysis software. In particular, our tool enables us to compare the carbon impact of a basic solution with that of a variant during the tendering phase, in order to promote, wherever possible, the solution that has the least impact on the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
