Environmental transparency: A growing Regulatory and Strategic Issue

 
Escalating regulations at local and international levels combined with a growing environmentally aware and competitive marketplace generate stricter demands on companies to report on environmental issues.

Anticipating these requirements, SUEZ defined in 1999 the environmental indicators that most related to key strategic issues the Group may have to face: climate changes, primary energy consumption, waste production and recycling, water consumption and treatment…

Environmental Reporting, a key driver for a sound Sustainable Development policy

 
After relevant indicators have been defined, companies are in need of reporting and monitoring tools capable of monitoring environmental performance systematically and rigorously. These tools must also allow companies to monitor progress and target achievement, perform analysis of activities with respect to direct/indirect environmental impacts and finally to dissimulate effectively and promote best practices throughout the subsidiaries.

Legal-framework: accompany the constant Evolution of the Legal Context

 
Environment and social reporting is a highly specific reporting exercise. It is characterised by legislation in constant evolution, local regulations which are very heterogeneous from one country to another, and by internal and external requests of various nature. Thus, it is more than ever critical to have a tool with a real capacity to evolve and anticipate a highly dynamic environment.

 
For SUEZ the main determining criteria was flexibility and the capacity to evolve and adapt to the Group’s diverse activities as well as its presence in more than a 100 countries.
