SUEZ strengthened the ambition of its climate commitments in October 2019, bringing them into line with the 1.5°C trajectory recommended by the IPCC in its October 2018 special report on global warming.
Aiming to help achieve the contribution to carbon neutrality by 2050, SUEZ com- mitted to increasing its target for redu- cing greenhouse gas emissions across all its activities by 2030 from 30% to 45% (scopes 1 and 2, baseline 2019, SBTi). This commitment will take concrete form in the implementation of an action plan to be submitted to SBTi in mid-2021. SUEZ has decided on several voluntary actions: set aside a budget dedicated to projects such as biogas production at storage centres, obtaining power from renewable sources and converting vehicle fleets;
focus innovation strongly on a set of technologies for capturing, using and storing carbon;
incorporate a changing carbon price into our everyday financial models.
