Backed by Entreprises pour l’Environnement (EpE), a pro-environment French business group, and many other partners, act4nature encourages companies to adopt concrete, measurable action plans that limit direct and indirect impacts on biodiversity.

This year our Group made additional focused commitments—all with measurable, realistic and time-bound outcomes—to ramp up existing initiatives and boost our contribution to biodiversity.

These commitments take into account progress made from 2018 to 2021, including new knowledge and international frameworks. They are structured around 4 focus areas:

• Strategy and dialogue with our stakeholders
• Acting on scope 1—reducing pressure from direct operations
• Acting on our value chain—scopes 2 and 3
• Helping improve knowledge and raise awareness

When act4nature commitments were renewed in 2020, the initiative expanded its reach to multinationals and changed its name to act4nature international. High-profile partners such as government agencies, scientists and environmental non-profits ensure that the commitments of member businesses are solid.

As part of our biodiversity effort, we made our first set of 10 individual commitments for 2018-2020. These focused on restoring continuity to watercourses, increasing the environmental value of our land holdings, issuing green bonds and more.
