CO2 emissions – Scopes 1 and 2 of administrative sites and research centres
In 2022, CO2 emissions decreased by 87% compared with 2019 (-91% compared with 2016), while hours worked on site decreased by 36% compared with 2019 (-30% compared with 2016).
This reduction was achieved thanks to the decrease in energy consumption from 2019 and the increased use of renewable energy for a large number of administrative sites and research centres. Indeed, energy consumption was down 14% from 2019, and the share of renewable energy rose to 92% (compared with 51% in 2019). In addition to the existing improvement projects, which continued in 2022, the ongoing Covid-19 health crisis in certain countries (e.g. China) and the widespread use of remote working also had a favourable impact on this result, thanks to the reduced presence of teams on site.
