“We are proud to drive this business initiative and to initiate this partnership with Engie, which will help us advance rapidly in this major step of our ambition.”
For her part, Engie CEO, Catherine MacGregor, added: “Through an innovative approach jointly built by Engie Impact and Faurecia sustainability experts, we are proud to support Faurecia in its global carbon neutrality transition.
“With its four global business units: renewables, energy solutions, networks, thermal and energy supply, Engie is a leader in the transition to a carbon-neutral energy system and ideally positioned to be the preferred partner for global industrial groups.”
In addition to this first milestone of CO2 neutrality in scopes 1 and 2 in 2025, Faurecia is also targeting to reduce by half its scope 3 emissions by 2030 and aims for full CO2 neutrality by 2050, including the use phase of its products.
