COMMITMENT STRATEGY

Aware of the need to mitigate its own impacts on nature, ENGIE is committed to the fight against the

global erosion of biodiversity. ENGIE takes a global approach, from project design to the end of life of a

site, ensuring dialog with its stakeholders. The Group has defined a 2020-2030 roadmap whose targets

and commitments are included in the act4nature international and

Entreprises Engagées pour la Nature

programs. Performance progress is measured annually and is published in official documents

(website, Universal Registration Document and Integrated Report). Part of its results is verified

by outside auditors.

Define priority sites for biodiversity

Continued development of action plans for sites located

in or near biodiversity hotspots using the new definition

of a priority site and now including all sites located

near a protected area, with no exceptions. This applies

to 80% of sites, compared to the 20% covered by the

previous criteria.

Opt for ecological site management

Implementation of ecological site management for all of the

Group’s industrial activities, with no phytosanitary products

used and maintenance of green spaces in harmony with

nature (differentiated landscaping).

OUR OBJECTIVES

• 2025: 50% of priority

sites with action

plans established in

consultation with

stakeholders

• 2030: 100% of priority

sites equipped with

action plans established

in consultation with

stakeholders concerned

60% of action plans

deployed by the end

of 2022

2022 PROGRESS REPORT

AREA 1: FOOTPRINT AND ECOLOGICAL CONTINUITY

OUR OBJECTIVES

• 2025: 50% of sites

• 2030: 100% of

sites

2022 PROGRESS REPORT

As of the end of 2022,

34% of industrial sites

are maintained without

phytosanitary products and

in compliance with local

biodiversity programs.

PROTECTION OF THE VEGETATION ON A WIND

FARM SITE

Since 2012 the Cape Scott Canada wind farm site has

been committed to protecting the surrounding vegetation in

accordance with an action plan adapted to the expectations of

the native populations reluctant to use any chemical products

In this context manual scrub clearing must be used along the roads

and electric transmission line Herbicides must not be used and

personnel are trained in the manual removal of invasive species

As for trees and large bushes they must be toppedpruned as

needed along the corridor of the transport line without touching

the endemic bushes and species

MINIMIZE THE ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

OF THE FOS CAVAOU LNG TERMINAL

In order to reduce its carbon footprint and increase respect

for environment, the LNG terminal at Fos Cavaou (France)

selected a particularly innovative solution for water treatment.

Based on marine biopolymers, i.e. sugars naturally produced

by marine bacteria, this fully biodegradable solution

limits the formation of biofouling the phenomenon of

surface colonization in an aqueous environment by living

organisms Simple to use it is injected directly into the sea

water circuit It reduces the use of chlorine by more than 90

preserves the facilities and avoids any ecotoxicity

This ecoresponsible choice was made possible thanks

to the completion of a research project led by Elengy

inpartnership with Polymaris a company that specializes

inblue biotechnologies and with ENGIE Lab Crigen
