What is a Carbon Footprint\u00ae?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The carbon footprint is a method developed by ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency) to assess the GHG emissions generated by an activity. This diagnosis is based on three scopes:<\/p>\n

Scope 1: direct emissions (for example from fuel combustion).<\/p>\n

Scope 2: indirect emissions linked to energy consumption (electricity, heating, etc.).<\/p>\n

Scope 3: other indirect emissions, such as those from business travel, purchases or the transport of goods.<\/p>\n

In 2022, we laid the foundations by carrying out our first carbon footprint with an essential introduction.<\/p>\n

In 2023, we consolidated the data for better consideration in order to refine our analysis and gain experience for the 4 subsidiaries concerned by the Enygea Group, including WATERLAB Services. This new scope will allow us to better integrate our actions and act effectively to reduce our carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

Key figures of our 2023 carbon footprint<\/strong><\/p>\n

WATERLAB Services: 204 tonnes of CO\u2082\/year (-64% compared to 2022, which amounted to 547 T CO\u2082)<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the 4 subsidiaries of the Enygea Group<\/a> combined: in 2022, the result was 11,168 tonnes of CO\u2082.
\nIn 2023, it is 11,107 tonnes of CO\u2082.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Compared to our 350 employees of the Enygea Group, this represents 31.37 tonnes of CO2 per employee.
\nThe objective now that this observation has been made is to improve ourselves and reduce these emissions as much as possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An encouraging first step<\/strong><\/p>\n

Compared to the previous year, we have reduced our overall emissions by 0.6% for the entire Group<\/strong>. This progress may seem small, but significant for a trajectory that is constantly improving.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with GENEO, we have integrated ambitious objectives into our strategic axis no. 2: Reduce our carbon footprint and that of our customers:<\/p>\n

4.2% reduction in Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 2024 (compared to 2023).
\n7% reduction in our Scope 3 carbon intensity over the same period.<\/p>\n

Concrete actions to achieve our objectives across the Group<\/strong><\/p>\n

To reduce our carbon footprint, we are implementing innovative and ambitious initiatives:<\/p>\n
