Cergy, March 1st 2022 -SPIE, the independent European leader in multi-technical services in the areas of energy and communications, has announced the approval of its greenhousegas emissions reduction targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in accordance with its good practice guide and the Paris Agreement
In this context, European political decision makers, CEOs, business organisations, trade unions and think tanks, call today the United States to fulfil its ambitions by adopting a climate goal of reducing by at least 50 % greenhousegas emissions by 2030 (compared to 2005 levels)... In March 2020, SPIE announced its objective to reduce greenhousegas emissions from the Group's operations (scopes 1 and 2) by 25 % by 2025 (from a 2019 base year)
The Group also reduces greenhousegas emissions from its multi-technical services... Since 2009, SPIE has been identifying and quantifying the significant greenhousegas emissions associated with its activities and taking action to reduce them
Within the 10 upcoming years, the objective is to reduce net greenhousegas emissions by at least 55 % 1... "To be carbon neutral in 2050, the industry needs to continue to significantly reduce its greenhousegas emissions
Another very recent development is their personal interest in CSR, sustainable development, and greenhousegas emissions reduction targets... These concerns, combined with the new regulatory requirements aimed at achieving targets in terms of reducing greenhousegas emissions, are the main drivers of the Facility Management market
As a service company, SPIE's greenhousegas emissions are limited- 19 grams of CO 2 per euro of turnover-and come mainly from its vehicle fleet. The Group is committed to reducing its carbon footprint by 25 % by 2025 compared with 2019 (scopes 1 and 2). This target was developed using the scenario of the global Science Based Targets initiative, limiting temperature rises to 1 5 °C. It has been validated by a third-party expert commissioned by the SBTi to ensure its reliability and credibility
Once repaired or recycled, the reuse of this equipment can significantly reduce greenhousegas emissions, which currently represent 76 % of the emissions generated by the IT sector. This represents an area with a lot of untapped potential
Earlier this year, SPIE announced its objective to reduce greenhousegas emissions from the Group's operations (scopes 1 and 2) by 25 % from a 2019 base year. Regarding scope 3 emissions, which primarily results from procured goods and services, SPIE announces today its objective to have, in 2025 67 % of its procurement made with suppliers having set ambitious carbon footprint reduction targets
