Our 2025 sustainable objectives

Objective 1: to contribute to a low-carbon economy

As a trailblazer in the application of the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities, the Group has calculated the green share of its turnover using this methodology since 2019. In 2024, 49% of its business made a significant contribution to climate change mitigation, a high proportion compared with all listed EU companies. SPIE has also set itself the goal of further increasing this green share by reaching 50% of its turnover by 2025.

The Group will rely on three levers to achieve this:

  • A favourable market dynamic for green activities, driven by national stimulus plans and the European Green Deal.
  • The high expectations of its customers, who are stepping up their CSR efforts and commitments in support of a low-carbon economy.
  • Increased awareness among its employees of the performance criteria of the EU taxonomy and the added value of its green solutions.

Objective 2: to reduce SPIE's carbon footprint

As a service company, SPIE's greenhouse gas emissions are limited—19 grams of CO2 per euro of turnover—and come mainly from its vehicle fleet.

The Group is committed to reducing its carbon footprint by 25% by 2025 compared with 2019 (scopes 1 and 2). This target was developed using the scenario of the global Science Based Targets initiative, limiting temperature rises to 1.5°C. It has been validated by a third-party expert commissioned by the SBTi to ensure its reliability and credibility.

Convert 1/3 of SPIE's vehicle fleet to electric

The same determination when it comes to emissions resulting from its purchases of products and services (scope 3): by 2025, SPIE plans to source 67% of its purchases from suppliers who have set ambitious targets for reducing their carbon footprint. With this in mind, the Group has initiated discussions with its suppliers to find out about their CO2 commitments and their products and services with lower emissions.

Objective 3: to strive for excellence in terms of safety

Occupational health and safety remains SPIE's top priority and responsibility to its employees. SPIE has set itself the target of reducing the number of serious lost-time injuries by 50% by 2025. To achieve this goal, it is taking action in four areas: prevention, skills development, leadership and subcontractor relations.

Objective 4: to increase the number of women in management

SPIE is committed to increasing the proportion of women in key management positions by 25% by 2025 compared with 2020. This objective will be achieved through internal promotion and recruitment. The So'SPIE Ladies internal diversity awareness network, which operates in each country, supports some of the levers used, such as raising awareness of unconscious biases, networking and mentoring. Gender diversity is now also a requirement for any recruitment shortlist for key management positions. SPIE ensures that internal training and development programmes include sufficient numbers of women to encourage internal promotion. Lastly, numerous initiatives are carried out in our subsidiaries to raise awareness among young women of our businesses supporting the energy transition and the digital transformation.
