Environmental and societal commitments


The chosen locations of the Group’s industrial facilities are specific to its business lines (water and energy supply, and sanitation) and essential to its longevity. To ensure its long-term development, the Group strives to meet the expectations of its stakeholders. GDF SUEZ implements this policy at both local and global levels for all social and environmental issues.

 

 

 

 

Developing awareness and structured dialog with every stakeholder

 

To ensure its longevity, the GDF SUEZ group seeks to build a relationship of trust with stakeholders through listening and dialog.

 

 

 

Guaranteeing industrial security and facility safety

 

Management methods and systems need to be deployed throughout the Group. This prevents any risk to the health and safety of users and third parties.

 

 

 

Limiting our exposure to climate change

 

The fight against climate change is one of the 21st century’s and GDF SUEZ’s main challenges. This involves:

 

  • limiting greenhouse gas emissions,
  • maintaining a balanced overall energy mix, with minimal CO2, and based on satisfying local needs and making best use of the means of production (nuclear, gas, coal-fired power plants, renewable energy),
  • increasing the capacity of power facilities that do not emit  CO2 (nuclear and renewal energy) and the proportion of such energy in the overall energy mix,
  • improving the energy efficiency of Group facilities.

 

 

 

Preserving natural resources

 

The Group aims to take environmental challenges into account in its decision-making processes in order to limit environmental risks and enhance the success of its industrial projects.

 

GDF SUEZ acts on multiple levels:

 

 

 

Anti-corruption measures

 

Corruption is the main threat to good governance, sustainable economic development and honest business practices. This is why GDF SUEZ is deeply committed to fighting corruption.

 

 

 

Behaving as a socially-responsible company

 

To ensure that its activities have a positive impact on the local economy and allow access to essential services for the most disadvantaged, the Group relies on partnerships of trust with recognized community partners (charities, non-governmental organizations, etc.) while pursuing and developing projects that favor disadvantaged customers.
