Actively engaged in tackling
          climate change
          In October 2019, Benoît Clocheret
          signed the Climate Charter for
          Engineers, an initiative proposed by
          the French engineering federation
          Syntec Ingénierie. Artelia thus
          undertakes to put environmental
          issues at the heart of its strategy,
          so as to work towards the objective
          of limiting global warming to below
          1.5°C as targeted by France’s
          National Low-Carbon Strategy. To
          that end, the Group is committed to
          moving towards carbon neutrality
          by reducing and offsetting its
          greenhouse gas emissions and
          achieving a 50% reduction of its
          carbon footprint by 2025.
