Carbon Emission Data of ALTEN China

In ESG sustainability disclosures, carbon emissions are a critical quantitative metric. For companies, measuring carbon emissions can help assess their total carbon footprint and evaluate the progress toward their dual carbon goals. Future development aims not only for individual growth but also for mutual benefit with partners, emphasizing innovation and environmental protection. Our operations in China will fulfill our commitments by creating positive impacts on customers, employees, and the community. Based on the ALTEN China Shanghai office, the disclosed results below cover the period from the baseline year of 2019 to the assessment year of 2023.

The ALTEN Group’s environmental strategy is broken down into action plans to preserve natural resources, protect biodiversity and mitigate climate change. Each of these action plans is based on 3 strong commitments: and raise awareness. As a signatory of Syntec-Ingenierie’s Engineering Charter for the Climate since 2019, ALTEN actively participates in the collective effort and encourages all of its entities to have a proactive environmental approach, based on recognised standards or benchmarks.

Responsible industries: 

reducing the environmental footprint of factories

Industrial environmental efficiency refers to the ability of industrial companies to produce goods and services while minimising their negative impact on the environment. Today’s factories must be more flexible, more communicative and more efficient, while remaining at the service of people. ALTEN integrates ecoresponsibility from product design to energy consumption in factories. With talk of Industry 4.0 and the massive deployment of connected objects to improve production, control resources, monitor data and thus reduce environmental impact and production costs, ALTEN, convinced that ecodesign is adapted to the industrial systems of the Smart Factory, sees the need to consider the environmental impact of these objects from end to end, starting with the development of the industrial system and during its use.

 

ALTEN Labs: 

our experts at the heart of sustainable innovation

Through the Smart Digital programme, which brings together the nine Smart Programmes developed by ALTEN Labs, the Group deploys highly complementary and crossfunctional research fields in all our clients’ sectors, systematically integrating a long-term sustainability approach, covering complex and global technical issues ranging from responsible management of industrial processes to reduce the carbon footprint of transport.

Carried out in an ecosystem of partners who are experts in their scientific, technological and/ or academic fields, ALTEN Labs’ work benefits from this collaboration either through theses or scientific partnerships, or through use cases for our Proof Of Concept (POC) or Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and the pooling of respective know-how, or through the introduction of new technologies.

 

Green AI: for greener technology

The ecological transition now concerns all economic sectors, including digital technology. Faced with the exponential digitalisation of services and the emergence of new technological tools such as IoT and AI, companies are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their infrastructures. In response to this problem, Green IT proposes a responsible approach to the management of IT resources. Against this backdrop, ALTEN is working on sober code, developing technologies using Artificial Intelligence and at the same time launching Green AI optimisation initiatives to reduce environmental impact as much as possible.

 

Recognition by Multiple International Organizations

Besides fulfilling our dual carbon responsibilities, ALTEN, as a responsible and diversified company, integrates a people-centered approach, sustainable development, and engineering culture. We are committed to harnessing the power of innovation and technology to forge a sustainable future. Alongside our clients, we will continue contributing to corporate growth and social progress.
