This process identifies and assesses most environmental and societal risks. Major risks are escalated to the top of the Group, i.e., to the Executive Committee, then to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is tasked with the Group\u2019s annual risk review.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, more specific ESG risk reviews are carried out annually for existing sites, as well as at the launch of each project as far upstream as possible in order to avoid impacts as far as possible, and ahead of the environmental and social impact studies required to obtain operating permits.<\/p>\n<p>ESG criteria for investments are linked to the main potential impacts of the Group&#8217;s activities and cover :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Climate change,<\/li>\n<li>Biodiversity and forests,<\/li>\n<li>Water and oceans,<\/li>\n<li>Stakeholder commitment, with a particular focus on affected communities, indigenous people and local communities,<\/li>\n<li>Sustainable procurement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For existing sites and activities, an annual risk review is carried out on environmental and social impacts.<\/p>\n<h3>Environmental risks<\/h3>\n<p>Amongst the escalated environmental risks, the Group has identified, on the one hand, climatic risks, their contribution to climate change and their impact on its activities, and on the other hand, other environmental risks related to the potential damage that activities could cause to the environment.<\/p>\n<h3>Climate risks<\/h3>\n<p>ENGIE is well aware of its responsibilities regarding climate change, which is why it considers the reduction of its CO2 emission and other greenhouse gases (GHG) to be a major issue. Consequently, a preliminary action plan has been deployed, with international targets and commitments, and detailed reporting.<br \/>\nAfter adopting the universal Paris agreement on the climate at COP21 in December 2015, the following COPs have clarified the roadmaps of the signatory States. Even if much work remains to be done on the conditions of implementation of the agreement, the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) from February 2022, confirms that climate change is a threat to human well-being and the health of the planet and that short-term action is needed. The Group is actively preparing for this.<br \/>\nENGIE has set itself the goal of achieving Net Zero Carbon across its entire value chain (scopes 1, 2 and 3) by 2045, via a &#8220;well-below 2\u00b0C&#8221; trajectory certified by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) in February 2023. In this way, the Group will reduce its direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 90% by 2045 compared to 2017. At the same time, it intends to work on developing carbon sinks so as to neutralise its residual emissions over the long term, thus contributing to the right level of global carbon neutrality. The Group is also committed to supporting its customers in reducing their GHG emissions in order to accelerate the decarbonisation of its own value chain.<\/p>\n<p>The Group\u2019s climate roadmap is based on 4 strong convictions regarding decarbonisation scenarios:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Group&#8217;s gas-fired generation assets (CCGTs) are today essential to the security and balance of the energy systems of which they are a part. In 2022, for example, the gas assets played a central role in balancing the French electricity system, in a context of strong tension on supply.<\/li>\n<li>In an electricity mix dominated by intermittent renewable energies, the need for flexibility solutions to ensure the balance of the energy system will increase significantly (they are multiplied by 4 in 2035 according to the IEA in its Net Zero Emission scenario). In the medium term, only thermal assets can provide this flexibility on an intra-week and inter-seasonal basis.<\/li>\n<li>In the long term, the fleet of thermal assets will progressively decrease (end of life of power plants partly replaced by renewable generation) but the remaining assets will participate in the balancing of the system (peak assets). In addition, gas-fired power plants will be decarbonised by 2040-2045 thanks in particular to biomethane and renewable hydrogen.<\/li>\n<li>Already certified according to a 2\u00b0C trajectory by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) since 2020, ENGIE received its new &#8220;well-below 2\u00b0C&#8221; certification at the beginning of 2023 with new targets for 2030. ENGIE has set a target for reducing the carbon intensity of energy generation and consumption (scope 1 and 2) that goes beyond the SBTi requirements with a commitment of -66% over the period 2017-2030 instead of the -55% required by the SBTi.<br \/>\nHowever, the forecasts for the use of gas-fired power plants do not, for the moment, allow ENGIE to commit to a 1.5\u00b0C trajectory, which would require a 78% reduction in carbon intensity over the same period. Such a reduction could not be achieved without the sale of assets. Indeed, the latter could not be closed, under penalty of jeopardising the security of the electricity system to which they contribute. They would therefore continue to emit GHGs. ENGIE is thus playing its role as an industrial company committed to the energy transition, by remaining at this stage a key player in thermal production resolutely committed to decarbonising these assets with various technologies (biomethane, carbon capture and, depending on technological developments, renewable hydrogen). To fully industrialise these technologies, despite promising developments in the regulatory framework (particularly in the EU), we consider that the credible horizon is 2040-2045.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ENGIE\u2019s strategy to reach its net zero carbon target by 2045 is based on several pillars.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A complete exit from coal in the short term<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Group intends to totally abandon coal in Europe by 2025, and in the rest of the world by 2027. ENGIE will prioritise the closure or conversion of its power plants, while taking the social consequences of its decisions on employees and local communities into consideration, in an effort to make a just and fair transition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the medium term, a significant development of renewable energy production<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ENGIE is targeting 80 GW of renewable capacity in 2030 and 50 GW in 2025 (compared to 34.4 GW at the end of 2021). This will enable the Group to reach 58% of renewable capacities in its energy production in 2030 with targets of 4 GW per year of solar and wind capacities commissioned over 2022-2025 and 6 GW per year over 2026-2030. This development should mobilise \u20ac13-14 billion of investment over the period 2023-2025, representing 55% to 65% of the group&#8217;s growth investments.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The long-term development of renewable gas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ENGIE intends to gradually decarbonise gas through biomethane, green hydrogen and CO2 capture techniques. These technologies will have to receive the necessary public support to become competitive. The development of renewable gases will make it possible to accompany the development of renewable electrical capacities, which are essentially intermittent, and to optimise investments with a view to a carbon neutral energy system. Biomethane is part of a circular economy logic: it allows the deployment of decentralised solutions and the creation of local jobs. It can be injected into all existing infrastructures. ENGIE has set a target of 10TWh of biomethane production in Europe by 2030. Renewable hydrogen produced by electrolysis from renewable energies will be key to decarbonising high temperature industrial processes and transport. ENGIE will allocate \u20ac4 billion of investments to the development of renewable hydrogen over the period 2023-2030 and is targeting a hydrogen production capacity of 4GW by 2030. The sector should move from local production to a European market benefiting from the conversion of existing gas infrastructures. Scaling up will require the establishment of partnerships, the development of the sector, including the need for market mechanisms and the mobilisation of public authorities.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The decarbonisation of customers and suppliers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ENGIE is committed to supporting its top 250 preferred suppliers (excluding energy purchases on the markets) so that they are all certified or aligned with the Science Based Target by 2030. This would cover 20% of the Group&#8217;s purchases in terms of expenditure. By the end of 2023, 24% of the top 250 preferred suppliers were already certified or aligned.<br \/>\nAt the same time, the Group is involved in international working groups such as the WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) and the Net Zero Initiative, which has enabled it to build a new indicator to measure the decarbonisation of companies and public players with peers and NGOs. On the basis of this indicator, ENGIE has set itself the objective of contributing to decarbonising its customers by 45Mt CO2 eq. by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding adaptation to climate change, the Group\u2019s assets are both exposed to climate change, which can cause damage and shut-downs of production and supply. These outages can last a few hours or days, or even longer, if the production facilities or the transmission networks are damaged. The goal consists of limiting the impacts and protecting the facilities, personnel and customers by taking adaptive actions.<br \/>\nENGIE has also built a partnership with a renowned meteorological institute (Institut Pierre Simon Laplace, member of the IPCC experts), which has enabled us to obtain refined data and maps on the evolution of different types of climate impacts in 2030 and 2050. Work on the adaptation plan is underway (implementation of systematic impact reporting, verification of asset exposure levels, study of adaptation actions to be considered to limit exposure). In this context, ENGIE is working with local authorities. In 2021, the impact of climate change on the evolution of solar, wind and hydro power production has been mapped. In 2022, the Group has concluded this analysis with the impact study for thermal activities, the biomass supply chain, and for heat and cooling demand. In 2023, all this data will be deployed at the most local level of the Group to increase the resilience of all our sites.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_e3acf37e51205d71a747b9481fad2e99\"\n     class=\"cp-media-full-screen teq-container relative nj-aura nj-aura--white \">\n    <div class=\"teq-grid  \">\n        <div class=\"col-span-12  lg:px-0 relative\">\n                        <div class=\"teq-grid\">\n                <div class=\"col-span-12\">\n                    <div class=\"media-wrapper relative\">\n\n                                                                                                            <button type=\"button\"\n                                        aria-label=\"Zoom on picture\"\n                                        aria-controls=\"modal-zoom\"\n                                        aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n                                        aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                                        class=\"absolute top-[4px] right-[4px] lg:right-[24px] lg:top-[24px]  nj-icon-btn nj-bg--white nj-color--primary nj-icon-btn--lg open-modal-zoom\">\n                                    <span aria-hidden=\"true\"\n                                          class=\"material-icons nj-icon-material nj-btn__icon nj-btn__icon--before\">fullscreen<\/span>\n                                <\/button>\n                                                    \n                                                    <picture class=\"flex\">\n                                <source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\"\n                                        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Mapping-of-environmental-risks-2024.jpg\"\/>\n                                <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\n                                        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Mapping-of-environmental-risks-2024.jpg\"\/>\n\n                                <!--TODO AMBRE if zoom ajotuer classe : open-modal-zoom cursor-pointer  -->\n                                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                        class=\"w-full object-fit-cover\"\n                                        src=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Mapping-of-environmental-risks-2024.jpg\"\n                                        alt=\"Map showing environmental risks by region for ENGIE sites in 2023, highlighting Europe with 87%.\"\n                                \/>\n                            <\/picture>\n                                            <\/div>\n\n                                        <div class=\"transcription hidden\" data-video=\"\"\n                         data-video-webm=\"\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                    <p class=\"relative nj-text--xs italic mt-8 nj-color--tertiary text-end\"\n                       data-trad>\n                                            <\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_68bedb6e0e482174aee3a0c8fd96fedb\" class=\"cp-wysiwyg teq-container nj-aura nj-aura--white\">\n    <div class=\"teq-grid \">\n        <div class=\"col-span-6 xl:col-start-2 xl:col-span-10 lg:col-start-1 lg:col-span-12 \">\n                        <div class=\"teq-wysiwyg\">\n                <div data-trad data-trad-html><h3>Societal policy<\/h3>\n<p>While it cannot be denied that our projects have a strong impact on communities, it is also increasingly true that citizens now want to be considered as stakeholders in their own right, and they are demanding more consultation and involvement in projects that impact them.<\/p>\n<p>ENGIE has responded proactively to these 2 observations, even before recent regulatory changes, by placing societal issues at the very heart of its business model. ENGIE, through its corporate purpose, enshrined in its articles of association its commitment to having a positive impact on people. The Group has extended its societal policy by gradually incorporating societal factors as a means of optimising its business.<\/p>\n<p>The societal policy defines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The societal challenges facing the Group<\/li>\n<li>The steps taken to address these challenges<\/li>\n<li>The governance that oversees the implementation of the Group\u2019s societal policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The incorporation of ESG in investment decisions<\/h3>\n<p>The process to implement ESG at ENGIE allows the climate-related, environmental and societal dimensions to be taken into consideration throughout the life cycle of a project, from the pre-development phase, to construction, operation, maintenance and dismantling.<\/p>\n<p>It guarantees the quality and transparency of the ESG information submitted to the decision-making committees, it clearly identifies the main ESG-related risks and opportunities and it also enables them to be addressed throughout the project\u2019s life cycle.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The ESG check list for preliminary decisions<\/strong>: the check list of the criteria is based on a traffic light-type indicator. It measures the importance of the criterion represented by the question to the success of the project. It is advisable to use the check list of ESG-related criteria right from the preliminary decision stage in order to identify the potential risks and the points requiring particularly close attention, to avoid and reduce the potential impacts and to define an appropriate development budget. These questions, which are aligned with the assessment matrix of the ESG-related criteria of investments, are a starting point for the collection of the data that is used to justify the score allocated in the matrix.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The ESG matrix in the investment rating stage<\/strong>: by focusing on the material criteria for the Group, this matrix assesses the risks and opportunities of projects in relation to ESG-related questions. The 10 criteria are: climate change (mitigation and adaptation), water and oceans, biodiversity and forests, air pollution, circular economy, human rights, ethics and health and safety (summary of detailed assessments), stakeholder engagement (with a focus on affected communities, indigenous peoples and local communities), responsible purchasing and an analysis of controversies. The assessment of each of the ten criteria identifies the risks and opportunities that need to be addressed and managed. The assessment of each one of these nine criteria identifies the risks and opportunities to be addressed and managed. \u00a0Completing this matrix and meeting all the criteria that cover material ESG subjects for the Group enables ESG-related factors to be considered in the investment decision and supports the \u201clicense to operate\u201d of the project.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Annual environmental and societal plans during construction, operation, maintenance and dismantling<\/strong>: these annual plans monitor the action plans that are implemented further to the risk analysis and make sure that the environmental and societal dimensions are addressed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All these operational tools meet the demand to show due diligence and demonstrate the coherence of our corporate purpose.

In 2023, all this data will be deployed at the most local level of the Group to increase the resilience of all our sites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_d5f472691b80857cb84978aaeb413dbe\" class=\"cp-accordion teq-container  relative nj-aura nj-aura--white\">\n  <div class=\"teq-grid\">\n        <div class=\"col-span-12 col-start-1 lg:col-span-10 lg:col-start-2\">\n      <div class=\"nj-accordion\">\n\n                                  <details class=\"nj-accordion-item !bg-transparent\">\n                                  <summary> \n                    <span class=\"nj-accordion-item__label nj-heading--xs\" data-trad>\n                      LPG storage tanks in Ajaccio                    <\/span>\n                    <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"material-icons nj-icon-material nj-accordion-item__toggle\">expand_more<\/span>\n                  <\/summary>\n                                                  <div class=\"nj-accordion-item__content wysiwyg force-dark\" data-trad data-trad-html>\n                    <p>For example, as part of the renovation of the LPG storage tanks in the town of Ajaccio in southern Corsica: the project has set up actions to provide information on the industrial activity to the region, and actions for the preservation of the environment. Local residents and environmental associations were informed of the nature and schedule of the work a few months before it began during several information and discussion meetings. In addition, the project has set up a partnership with the Conservatoire des Espaces Naturels de Corse (Association for the protection of natural areas of Corsica) for the delegation of the management of its compensation sites. The University of Corsica is involved in the scientific reflection on the preservation of protected species.<\/p>\n<p>The project provides continuous information on the progress of the project via its website and more directly through the frequent contacts and discussions that the project ensures with its stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpl.engie.fr\/nouvelle-station-gaz-du-loretto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more (in French)<\/a><\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                              <\/details>\n                          <details class=\"nj-accordion-item !bg-transparent\">\n                                  <summary> \n                    <span class=\"nj-accordion-item__label nj-heading--xs\" data-trad>\n                      The Hazelwood power plant in Australia                    <\/span>\n                    <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"material-icons nj-icon-material nj-accordion-item__toggle\">expand_more<\/span>\n                  <\/summary>\n                                                  <div class=\"nj-accordion-item__content wysiwyg force-dark\" data-trad data-trad-html>\n                    <p>The Hazelwood power plant in Australia was shut down in March 2017 and since then ENGIE has been conducting a project to rehabilitate the site: The plant is being dismantled and the mine will be turned into a lake.<\/p>\n<p>Dismantling activities at the plant are expected to be completed in the first half of 2018.

The aim of the consultation process was, on the one hand, to establish the initiatives by which ENGIE will engage with communities and stakeholders in the project&#8217;s area of influence in order to address the social impacts that will be generated in the preparation, construction and operation phases, and, on the other, to take into consideration their social conditions, needs and the presence of indigenous populations, from a human rights and shared value perspective.<\/p>\n<p><a
