Recognised for its fight against climate change, SUEZ confirms its leadership in responsible performance.

RECOGNISED BY THE SCIENCE BASED TARGETS INITIATIVE

Launched in 2015, the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative is a joint programme run by CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the WWF. Its goal is to evaluate how far companies' emissions reduction targets for greenhouse gases comply with the recommendations of the scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which aim to limit the average global rise in temperature to below 2°C by the end of the century. Since 2015, the SBT initiative has evaluated the targets of 89 of the 339 companies committed to this approach worldwide. Of these 89, SUEZ became the first environmental services company in the world in December 2017 to be recognised by Science Based Targets for its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, base-line year 2014.

ESTABLISHED PRESENCE IN THE DJSI First created in 1999 by S&P Dow Jones Indices and RobecoSAM, DJSIs were the first global indexes to measure the extra-financial performance of companies, and have now become a key benchmark

for socially responsible investment. Amongst the 2,500 highest market capitalisations, the DJSI rewards the top 10% of the best-performing companies in their sector in terms of social and environmental responsibility. SUEZ has been selected based upon its social, societal, environmental and governance performance.

RECOGNISED AS A LEADER BY VIGEO EIRIS

The SUEZ Group's performance has also been hailed by the extra-financial rating agency Vigeo Eiris, which placed SUEZ at the top of the Waste & Water Utilities sector in its latest evaluation, published in August 2017. Underlining SUEZ's key role in responding to global warming, Vigeo raised its score by over 10% and named it as Best in Class in the areas of the Environment, Human Resources, Community Involvement and Business Behaviour1.

INCLUSION ON THE CDP A LIST The CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is an international non-profit organisation that questions almost 2,000 major global corporations on their climate strategy every year. It has become the benchmark for rating companies on their responsible behaviour in the face of climate change.

Since 2016, SUEZ has featured on the Climate A List , which includes the 200 global companies with the highest rating. The Group is thus recognised as a leader towards a low-carbon future that regards companies as key players in enabling the global economy to achieve its climate targets.
