Strategic suppliers

This refers to our suppliers of goods, services and materials

who generate most of our Scope 3 emissions in Category 1

(product and service purchases) based on the GHG Protocol

and who are essential to our construction activities.

Sustainable construction

A process involving the design, construction and operation

of buildings and infrastructure that respects the environ-

ment, optimizes the use and recovery of natural resources,

and reduces the environmental impacts throughout their

life cycle.

VDC (Virtual Design and Construction)

The fundamental objective of this technique is to f ind the

most appropriate strategy to manage a project with the right

combination of processes and technologies. This approach

ensures the seamless transition from virtual design to the

physical construction. The data collected can then be used to

recreate a digital model identical to the physical construction.
