PROTECT BIODIVERSITY AND NATURE

The global erosion of biodiversity and the depletion of natural resources are largely due to human

activities and challenge all responsible economic players, including ENGIE. Since 2010, the Group

has integrated the protection of biodiversity into the running of its activities, particularly its projects,

from their design to the end of the facilities’ life. Its biodiversity policy and the renewal of its

commitments are proof of this.

THE ENGIE ACTION PLAN

ENGIE has been committed to

the French National Strategy for

Biodiversity since 2011 and to

the act4nature initiative from

its launch in 2018. It has renewed

and expanded this commitment with

a new 2020-2030 roadmap based on

the shared commitments, taking into

account the pressures defined by the

Intergovernmental Science and Policy

Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem

Services (IPBES) and the challenges

specific to the Group’s activities.

The main results of this plan are presented in the appendix in the biodiversity notebook

For more than 10 years, the Group’s

biodiversity approach has been supported

by the French Committee of the IUCN

and France Nature Environnement.

The Group recently joined the pilot

phase for the development of

Science

Based Targets for Nature

(SBTN).

The Group’s most recent commitments

were made in 2021 within the

framework of act4nature international

(global scope) and Companies

Committed to Nature (France scope).

ENGIE’S PLAN TO PROTECT BIODIVERSITY AND NATURE

IS ORGANIZED BETWEEN FOUR AREAS

Awareness

The Groups commitments can only be achieved

with the active involvement of its employees

ENGIE is therefore developing and widely distributing

resources for raising awareness and sharing best

practices making them accessible to all

Footprint

and ecological continuity

ENGIE contributes to the preservation of biodiversity at

its various sites by optimizing the use of its land footprint,

contributing to the restoration of ecological corridors and

reducing the presence of invasive exotic species.

Climate change

The preservation of biodiversity and the fight against

climate change share strong ties. This is why the reduction

of greenhouse gas emissions to combat global warming

is one of the key requirements for the preservation

of biodiversity. The reverse is also true – by preserving

the ecological balance and functionalities of ecosystems,

climate conditions are regulated naturally.

Value chain

Impacts on biodiversity are felt throughout

the value chain Thus the Group integrates in its analyses

of risks and opportunities the potential impacts of its own

activities as well as those of its supply chain In this way

it maintains an ongoing dialog with all its stakeholders
