We are a global operator of essential infrastructure
A Zero-Emissions Future
We strive to reduce emissions associated with our activities as part of our commitment to combating climate change.
Steady Progress and Clear Objectives
2025
30% reduction in scope 1 + 2 emissions compared to 2019.
100% reduction in scope 1 emissions from 2024.
Suppliers representing 2/3 of supply chain emissions must have science-based targets (approved by SBTi).
2030
55% reduction in scope 1 + 2 emissions compared to 2019.
28% reduction in scope 3 emissions compared to 2019.
2050
90% reduction in scope 1 + 2 emissions compared to 2019.
90% reduction in scope 3 emissions compared to 2019.
Offsetting 10% of the remaining emissions (that cannot be reduced), up to net zero.
Our emission reduction targets for 2030 and the net-zero target for 2050 have been approved by the SBTi initiative.
We have tools and an objective methodology
We draw up our greenhouse gas emission inventory based on the GHG Protocol methodology, independently audited under ISAE 3410.
Our unique methodology calculates the carbon footprint associated with the life cycle of our assets to identify specific improvement and reduction measures.

Control of SF6 Emissions
Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) is the primary direct emission from our activity, as it is produced by the equipment used in electricity transmission.
Using SF6 strategically enables us to reduce the spacing between different elements in our sites, facilitating a reduction in size and, consequently, minimising our environmental impact.
Goals
- -25% reduction in net emissions by 2030(vs 2015).
- Maximum 252 kt CO2 eq. in the 2021-2030 period.
Actions
- Improvement of leak control and registration procedures.
- Training for gas handling. Training for gas handling.
- Progressive renewal of old equipment.
- Prevention, early detection, and improvement of leak repair procedures.
- Reduction of installed gas. Projects to advance and promote alternatives to SF6.
