SPIE's 2025 non-financial performance
In 2019, SPIE identified three major contributions that enable it to play a useful - and sometimes decisive - role for its stakeholders:
- preparing the energy future
- making digital tools drivers for shared value creation
- promoting inclusion by employment
To achieve the objectives set in its Sustainability roadmap, SPIE has drawn up an action plan complete with quantitative objectives. These objectives have been an integral part of the Group's financing strategy since 2022, demonstrating its determination to align its strategy with its Sustainability commitments. In 2025, SPIE reached a decisive milestone by achieving its 2025 objectives and launching an ambitious new roadmap with a 2030 horizon.
2030 objective #1: Contributing to a low-carbon economy
Maintain more than 50% of green share of our revenue over the 2026-2030 period according to EU Taxonomy climate criteria, despite acquisitions.
SPIE designs and implements long-term solutions to support customers through the energy transition and help reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. In 2025, the Group's green share reached 50%, thus fulfilling the objective set in 2019. This performance places SPIE among the top performers in its sector and reflects the Group's strategic focus on energy transition markets.
This green share is driven mainly by energy efficiency services for buildings (26% of revenue), services related to renewable energies, nuclear power and the associated network infrastructure (22%), and to a lesser extent by low-carbon mobility (2%).
2025 objective #2: Significantly reducing SPIE’s carbon footprint
Reduce by 50% our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (scopes 1 and 2) and by 55% the carbon intensity of our scope 3 emissions compared to 2019.
This year, SPIE has set new 2030 climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These targets succeed those of 2025, which the Group has exceeded:
- For scopes 1 and 2: The SBTi has confirmed that the 50% reduction target is in line with a trajectory that contributes to limiting global warming to 1.5°C, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.
- For scope 3: The target aims to reduce emissions across the entire value chain relative to the added value created by the company. This target now includes the use of all equipment installed by SPIE at its clients' premises and not only the emissions that occurred during the manufacturing phase.
As a pure service provider, SPIE has a relatively small direct carbon footprint. The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium recorded particularly significant reductions. The main decarbonisation lever remains the electrification of the vehicle fleet: in 2025, 39% of the total fleet is electrified, compared with 25% in 2024.
For scope 3, SPIE has identified several decarbonisation levers: ecodesign of purchased equipment, increased use of energy-efficient equipment, engineering of low-carbon solutions adapted to customers, use of reused products, and maintenance extending the life of equipment. Thanks to the strong involvement of the purchasing teams, more than 3,300 suppliers have committed to reducing their carbon footprint since 2019.
2030 objective #3: Striving for excellence in safety
Reduce by 30% the average rate of severe accidents over the 2025-2030 period compared to the 2019-2024 average.
Occupational health and safety remains SPIE's top priority and responsibility to its employees and temporary workers. For the new objectives, SPIE changed from measuring the absolute number of severe accidents to the average rate of severe accidents, allowing for fair comparison across subsidiaries by taking into account the changes in organisational scope and business activity.
Since 2021, SPIE has been implementing 10 Life Saving Rules to strengthen the prevention of serious accidents in high-risk areas: electrical work, road transport, working at heights and lifting operations. Although the number of serious accidents remains high in 2025, their frequency rate has fallen by 22% compared to 2019, despite a sharp increase in the number of hours worked.
To achieve the 2030 objective, action is taken regarding compliance, prevention, skills development, leadership and subcontractor relations.
2030 objective #4: Increasing the number of women in management
Increase by 20% the number of women in both top and middle management positions compared with 2025.
By steadily promoting gender diversity, SPIE has a positive impact on society. Gender diversity drives the Group's performance, enhances leadership and innovation skills, and supports efforts to attract and retain talented employees.
Between 2020 and 2025, the proportion of women in approximately 300 key management positions rose from 16% to over 20%, representing an increase of 27%, thus exceeding the target set. For 2030, SPIE has extended the perimeter and is committed to increasing by 20% the number of women in the Group's top 1,500 top and middle management positions.
Gender diversity remains a requirement for any shortlist prepared to support the recruitment of top and middle management positions. SPIE ensures that internal training and development programmes include a significant proportion of women to encourage internal promotion. Numerous initiatives are carried out throughout SPIE to raise young women's awareness of the Group's role in the energy transition and digital transformation.
