How is biodiversity incorporated into SUEZ’s sites and constructions projects?
To take concrete action on the ground, we have developed Nature Standards, which apply to the priority sites we manage and our major construction projects. These standards establish common rules to preserve local biodiversity, protect water resources, and promote the circular economy.
In practical terms, this translates into targeted actions that can be adapted to each local context: conducting biodiversity assessments, combating invasive alien species, restoring natural habitats, and implementing ecological site management. By 2030, our objective is for 100% of biodiversity-priority sites that we operate, as well as all our major construction sites, to apply these Nature Standards, in order to scale up best practices in support of living ecosystems. These standards provide a clear and consistent framework wherever we operate, in service to our customers.
In France, we have established a partnership with the LPO, the League for the Protection of Birds, to leverage the organisation’s expertise, regional network, and knowledge of local biodiversity to support our teams in implementing their biodiversity action plans, one of the measures outlined in our Nature Standards.
Our commitments to biodiversity have been validated by Act4Nature International, ensuring their scientific rigor and long-term monitoring.
