ESG

ISO standards and certifications

As a leader in the energy transition, ENGIE ensures that the conduct of its activities and industrial facilities, particularly the riskiest, is based on international ISO standards, especially those concerning environmental, social / societal, and governance topics, so as to best guarantee the safety of those involved, improve the quality of its services and facilities, and avoid, limit or reduce their impact on the environment and people.

To this end, the Group is particularly committed to the following international ISO standards:



ISO 9001: Quality Management

The ISO 9001 quality management standard is designed to ensure the reliability of a company's operations and organization, through the implementation of processes structuring its activity, coupled with a continuous improvement system. 

Here are some of the Group's ISO 9001-certified entities.

ISO 14001 standard: Environmental Management

The ISO 14001 standard on environmental management aims to enable companies to take environmental issues into account in all their activities, and thus improve their environmental performance.

As part of its commitment to environmental responsibility, the Group encourages environmental management certification for all its activities impacting or dependent on the environment, i.e. all Group activities excluding tertiary, commercial or trading activities. For activities covered by this standard, the Group leaves it up to each entity to decide whether or not certification is appropriate, and if so, how. 

At the end of 2024, 75.3% of revenues concerned by this standard were covered by ISO 14001 certification, EMAS (Eco Management and Audit Scheme) certification (the enhanced European translation of ISO 14001 certification), or other equivalent external or internal certifications.

Here are a few Group entities certified to ISO 14001.

ISO 27001: Information security management

The ISO 27001 standard for information security management aims to secure information essential to a company's business, and to guarantee access to shared information.

Aware of the risks associated with the cybersecurity of data and information systems, and of the growing number of regulatory changes in this area, ENGIE's operating entities are using the ISO 27001 standard as a basis for certification procedures, sometimes at the request of their own customers, sometimes in application of national regulations specific to critical infrastructures. 

Here are some of the Group's entities certified to ISO 27001 or equivalent.

ISO 37001 standard: Anti-corruption management

The ISO 37001 standard for anti-corruption management aims to prevent, detect and deal with corruption issues that may affect the company.

As part of its integrity approach, ENGIE attaches particular importance to the fight against corruption, carries a strong zero-tolerance message and carries out external audits of its system. As early as 2015, the Group obtained certification of its anti-corruption system issued by Mazars and ADIT. In 2018, the Group introduced annual audits of ISO 37001 certification, which has been renewed every year since. All these audits are carried out at Group level and in several operating entities representative of its activities.

In addition, several Group entities have set up their own ISO 37001 certification audits, such as our subsidiary Tractebel, which offers consulting and engineering services in the fields of energy, nuclear and water infrastructures.

ISO 45001: Occupational health and safety management

The ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management standard aims to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks and create better, safer working conditions.

The Group allows each operating unit to decide whether or not to apply for certification to this standard, depending on the health and safety risks identified. Other occupational health and safety management standards such as MASE in France and VCA in Belgium are used by certain entities. 

Here are a few examples of ISO 45001 certification of ENGIE entities:
