To guide our actions and maximise our impact, our 2026–2030 Sustainability Strategy is structured around a fundamental concept: the ‘3Ps’ (People, Planet, Partner).
PEOPLE: Placing people at the heart of our model is our priority.
As a recognized and accredited third-party organization (COFRAC*), Apave positions itself as a trusted partner to its customers, providing its expertise and adapting to their challenges, their specific needs and new regulations. Throughout the world, the Apave Group relies on the commitment of its employees and their desire to be trusted partners.
PLANET: To minimise the direct impact of our activities on the environment.
- To significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with our business travel.
- To make each of our sites energy-efficient and sustainable workplaces.
- To work closely with our suppliers to ensure more responsible procurement.
Our 2030 targets
- Reduce our carbon emissions (in absolute terms) by 15% (compared to 2022)
- Reduce our carbon intensity (Scope 1 & 2) by 24%
- Reduce our carbon intensity (Scope 3) by 15%
- 80% of our suppliers committed to our Sustainability Charter
PARTNER: Supporting our clients in achieving successful sustainable transitions through our range of services: Green & Social.
In practical terms, our experts operate worldwide, carrying out assessments, tests and measurements, providing consultancy and technical support, and delivering certification, accreditation and training.
Our strength: Your innovations, your transition plans and your adaptation solutions are defined and implemented on the ground. They will drive progress, but this progress must be managed: any new risks that may arise must be identified, prevented and managed effectively. This has been the mission of Apave’s 12,000 engineers and technicians for 150 years, and it is the objective of our range of Green & Social solutions.
Our 2030 objectives
We aim for our Green & Social offerings to act as a catalyst for the Group’s organic growth.
