The latest science has made it clear that more needs to be done urgently in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. As a company, Faurecia has a strong conviction that we need to make a positive contribution to the planet. We launched our CO2 neutral program at the end of 2019 and we have created a partnership with Schneider Electric to support our ambition to become CO2 neutral for our internal emissions across all of our 300 sites by 2025 (scopes 1 & 2). By 2030, we will converge towards neutrality for our controlled emissions (scope 3 excluding emissions of vehicles equipped with Faurecia products). I am particularly pleased that our CO2 neutral trajectory was recently approved by the SBTi (see p.30). Through this program we want to both reduce our environmental impact and create long-term value across our entire supply chain. —> Agility and resilience strengthened in 2020 Obviously 2020 was an exceptional year with the pandemic and ensuing Our strong focus on Total economic crisis.
