SPIE - Active in the green economy

For SPIE, a "green economy" is one that is aware of the scarcity of natural resources, particularly energy, and is willing to address the challenges of global warming.

As a strong supporter of an economy that safeguards our planet's future, SPIE launched a green economy policy in 2010 that makes environmental issues a central focus of the Group's growth strategy. The aim of this strategy is to incorporate environmental best practice into the design, implementation, maintenance and management of the solutions offered to our customers.

SPIE is implementing this "green growth" strategy in several ways:

  • Leveraging the Group's expertise in energy efficiency and renewable energy to manage energy resources and environmental assets effectively;
  • Adapting all SPIE businesses to face the challenges of the green economy, through services and solutions suited to individual sectors of activity;
  • Pursuing environmentally sound process management, covering everything from sustainable purchasing policies to recycling electrical waste and managing the Group's carbon footprint;
  • Affirming SPIE's corporate values, in particular by helping customers to play their own part in achieving sustainable change.


A green economy is one that respects our environment and addresses the challenge of global warming. As energy costs rise and the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions becomes ever more urgent, the green economy offers solutions for saving energy and reducing carbon emissions by power generation activities.
