Our carbon roadmap
Our short-term climate targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
Our approach is in line with the recommendations of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, which provides for a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions by signatory countries by 2030 to restrict the rise in temperatures to less than 2°C. Kallista Energy wants to contribute as much as it can to this global objective.
Thanks to the combined efforts of all its employees, Kallista Energy was able to achieve this objective starting in 2021 in a context of growth (see our CSR report below for more details).
Towards a new carbon roadmap to eventually achieve Net Zero
Following the achievement of our goal of reducing our CO2 emissions per employee in our office activities (Scope 1 and 2) by 40% between 2017 and 2019, Kallista Energy has begun defining a new, even more ambitious roadmap, which now includes its Scope 3.
Our group has used the Science-Based Carbon Initiative (SBTi) methodology to define new targets. These are currently being audited by the SBTi.
These new targets will put Kallista Energy on a trajectory towards Net Zero by 2050.
Our commitments to the environment
- 01. Electrify 100% of our vehicle fleet by 2023
- 02. Ban domestic flights and limit international flights
- 03. Avoid, reduce, and recycle waste from our offices
- 04. Improve the energy efficiency of our equipment
- 05. Encourage consideration of ESG criteria in activities within our scope 3
- 06. Develop the best projects with the help of independent experts
- 07. Guarantee an exemplary site for each of our projects
- 08. Ensure the environment is protected and noise disturbances are limited around our wind farms
- 09. Invest in the repowering of our ageing wind farms to optimise renewable electricity generation
- 10. Recover the blades of dismantled wind turbines and contribute to searching for solutions adapted to future volumes
Minimising the environmental impact of our projects and our daily activity
To carry out environmental studies prior to the construction of a wind or solar farm, we call on independent firms recognised for their expertise. Studies of the fauna, flora, acoustics and landscape are carried out in strict compliance with the standards in force to minimise the environmental impact of the wind farm as much as possible, from its construction to its dismantling. The risks associated with extreme physical phenomena, natural disasters and climate change are also included in these studies.
Back in 2017, Kallista Energy committed to completely levelling the concrete foundations of the wind turbines during dismantling, before this principle was enshrined in law. The land where the wind turbines were installed can therefore be returned to farmers in their original state.
In addition, we seek to limit the environmental impact of our teams on a daily basis: electrification of our fleet of vehicles, sorting and recovery of waste in the offices, replacement of equipment (lamps, boilers, etc.) with more energy-efficient appliances.
