Article
In a monumental move towards mitigating climate change, Egis has pledged allegiance to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and embarked on the "Race To Zero" campaign. Committed to aligning greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets with the Paris Agreement's ambitions, Egis strives to achieve a 1.5°C global warming limit.
The urgency highlighted by recent IPCC reports underscores the need for substantial and rapid GHG emission cuts, aiming for a 50% reduction globally by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. Egis, acknowledging its shared responsibility in addressing climate change, officially joined the "Race To Zero" campaign on November 30, 2023.
By mid-2024, Egis plans to finalize its emission reduction targets for the next decade and draft a decarbonization roadmap consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C, as mandated by the SBTi. These targets form the cornerstone of Egis's commitment towards achieving global carbon neutrality by 2050.
While shaping its internal strategies, Egis remains steadfast in supporting its clients and local authorities in their decarbonization endeavors. The group's impactful lever for decarbonization resides in the projects it designs and delivers worldwide.
Egis's track record speaks volumes: since 2019, it has successfully slashed its French CO2 emissions by over 30%, aligning with France's national Low-Carbon Strategy. Expanding this success globally, Egis champions the Race to Zero campaign, advocating for a decarbonization trajectory aligned with the Paris Agreement's stringent standards. For Egis, this ambitious commitment remains unwavering, driven by the irrefutable science that dictates the necessity for swift action.
Hubert Kieken, Egis's Climate Director, stresses the significance of collective action in shaping the planet's future. The upcoming decade's actions in both public and private sectors hold the key to phasing out fossil fuels at an expedited pace, crucial for the planet's well-being.
Conclusion:
Egis's resolute commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative and the "Race To Zero" campaign exemplifies its dedication to combating climate change on a global scale. This pledge not only shapes Egis's internal strategies but also reflects its firm resolve to drive sustainable change through collaboration and steadfast action.
