Our Raison d'être: to build a Net Zero energy future with electricity and innovative solutions and services, to help save the planet and drive wellbeing and economic development.

Carine de Boissezon

At the source, our Raison d’être

We are convinced that it is by adopting a systemic approach between climate, nature and just transition that we can achieve a sustainable impact.

The Group's new CSR Architecture embodies this logic. Directly stemming from our Raison d'être, it allows us to anchor the overarching decarbonization mission of the Ambitions 2035 corporate project, while not forgetting our dependance on natural resources and the ability of our internal and external stakeholders to make the transition.

An evolution more than a revolution, this architecture has been simplified for even greater impact.
