The energy transition is centred around three essential pillars: energy sufficiency, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. Here are some useful definitions!
Refers to all actions seeking to limit the energy needs of transports, buildings, factories, etc., in order to reduce energy consumption. As such, it aims to improve an energy service by increasing its performance while reducing its CO2 emissions.
A personal and collective process of changing one’s uses, practices and organisational methods. It refers to the deliberate and structured reduction of energy consumption. Its goal: to decrease consumption by stopping or substantially eliminate habits that emit greenhouse gases.
Solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal and biomass – renewable energy sources play a key role in the energy transition. These energy sources are considered to be “renewable” as they do not exhaust a raw material and are able to renew at a faster pace than they are consumed.
“Energy sufficiency is one of the best ways to preserve our planet, which has a finite amount of resources. Although indispensable, technology alone cannot solve this issue. Society as a whole can deliberately reduce its energy consumption in a way that is fair for all. This collective effort coupled with the support from energy companies such as ENGIE are necessary to help decarbonize our economies. ”

In everyday life, energy sufficiency can be a bit of a headache – financially, organisationally and technically speaking - for our business, public and private clients. However, thanks to our artificial intelligence tools to analyse digital data, consuming less and at the right time has become possible. Jean-Pierre Pélicier, ENGIE’s Chief Data Officer, provides us with insight on the group’s digital solutions deployed for our customers. Learn more
It is part of our corporate purpose: the transition towards a carbon-neutral economy is at the heart of our strategy. This ambition affects all facets of the company, starting with our infrastructures and digital uses. In short, we are fully committed to Digital Responsibility. Our digital strategy thus paves the road for a more sustainable form of digital consumption.
Energy sufficiency concerns all energy consumers, be they private individuals, businesses, or local authorities. We spoke to Olivier Gresle, Managing Director of Marketing, Innovation, and CSR at ENGIE Solutions, on its application to businesses and local authorities. He details the support offered by ENGIE…

Determined to become carbon neutral by 2025 on scopes 1 and 2*, Faurecia, a major player in the global automobile industry, owned by the FORVIA group, is committed to the "use less and use better" principles and improving its energy independence by reducing its energy procurement by 25% from 2023. To meet this challenge, Faurecia has entered into a long-term partnership with ENGIE.

Standing at 259 metres high, the 52-storey PBCom Tower is considered to be the tallest office building in the Philippines and the country's third largest tower!
PBCom called on ENGIE to help it achieve its target to cut CO2 emissions and reduce its head office's energy bill, also improve air quality, air conditioning reliability and, more generally speaking, the comfort of its occupants.
