SNCF Group has set for itself ambitious targets in line with the Paris Agreement:

• -42% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in scopes 1 and 2 between 2022 and 2030
• additional targets to be later set for indirect emissions in scope 3¹.

These commitments to reducing the Group’s activities’ greenhouse gas emissions have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This international organization supports companies’ decarbonization efforts using a science-based methodology.

Following the validation of Keolis' and GEODIS' targets in 2024, the approval of SBTi proves that the trajectory submitted by SNCF Group is in line with the Paris Agreement signed in 2015 to limit global warming. This validation thus marks a decisive step in our climate strategy.

• Widespread adoption of eco-driving and eco-parking: professional practices have already enabled SNCF Voyageurs to avoid 22,000 tCO₂e of emissions between 2022 and 2024.
• Heating and air conditioning control, switch to LED lighting, real-time monitoring of energy consumption (e.g., more than 600 stations equipped with Smart Station centralized supervision).
• Improved train aerodynamics, optimized freight loading (+10% increase in GEODIS container loading rates thanks to a new software program), gradual replacement of the existing fleet with more efficient equipment (eco-design, energy efficiency, increased capacity).

• In our property: phasing out fuel oil (and eventually natural gas), connecting buildings to district heating networks where possible, installing heat pumps.
• In our vehicles: use of biofuels, electrification of motor engines during mid-life operations or fleet renewal.
• Development of renewable energies with SNCF Renouvelables or through long-term renewable energy purchase agreements.
