That's what our Green&Social range of services is all about. More than ever, Apave has reinforced and strengthened its expertise and know-how in specific areas such as the environment, safety at work, climate and decarbonisation, as well as in specific areas of expertise such as sustainability /CSRD reporting.

Providing tailored "Green & Social" solutions:

  • Developing high-level offerings on sustainability reporting issues and associated certifications, through our dedicated subsidiary RSE France (accredited to audit DPEFs and companies with missions).

 

A range of offerings that grew by 33% in 2023. An increase that confirms the strategic relevance of Apave's strategy 2 years ago.

EDF PEI Larivot power station

French Guiana ensures its energy transition

""
""

In order to meet French Guiana's energy needs and replace the existing oil-fired power plant, which is more than 40 years old, EDF PEI has opted for liquid biomass (biofuel based on vegetable oil, with the exception of palm and soya oil). The construction of the Larivot Bioenergy Plant, with its guaranteed power of 120 MW, will provide French Guiana with a high-performance, reliable and environmentally-friendly industrial facility.

 

Apave's Guianese teams have been working with EDF PEI and the GME (Vinci Grands Projets, Vinci Grands Travaux, Wartsila) on technical control of construction, health and safety on site, inspection and technical support. But that's not all! An engineer specialising in Health, Safety and the Environment is permanently on site. His role? To ensure that an effective Safety and Environmental Management System is put in place, so that new production equipment can be delivered on schedule.

What our customers say?


This global collaboration with Apave means that safety and environmental protection can be controlled on site, which are EDF PEI's primary requirements for the successful completion of this major project in French Guiana.

Hertz

Electrical compliance of terminals

""
""

By 2023, the target is ambitious, with 2.4 million electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, a 12-fold increase on the current situation. Electric charging points therefore represent a major challenge in the ecological and energy transition.

 

Throughout France, Apave is checking the electrical compliance of the 250 charging points installed in almost half of Hertz's branches (excluding franchisees and correspondents).

What our customers say?


For the inspection of our first fast-charging stations at Lyon Saint-Exupéry and Orly, Apave demonstrated its responsiveness and flexibility. Generally speaking, Apave is a key partner in the implementation of our policy of deploying charge points in our branches, and thanks to this our teams work in complete safety to help reduce the CO2 impact of our customers' journeys.

Delta Dore

A low-carbon strategy supported by Apave

""
""

Delta Dore chose Apave to help it structure its decarbonisation approach and align its emissions reduction trajectory with the Paris Agreements: -25% by 2030 and -90% by 2050.

Apave's support enabled it to:

  • Benefit from a wealth of climate-related knowledge and skills
  • Benefit from methodological support and workshop facilitation
  • A common understanding of the challenges of global warming
  • Raise awareness of the impact of climate change within the company
  • Accelerate the project with an external driving force

What our customers say?


We knew that the carbon footprint approach was not enough to implement a global strategy to reduce our emissions. We wanted and needed to structure our own approach to decarbonisation.
