Since 2022, Altea Energy has measured its carbon footprint every year using the Sami platform. The 2025 carbon assessment marks a major milestone in the low-carbon trajectory of all its subsidiaries: a 50% reduction in economic carbon intensity in just three years, significantly exceeding the targets set in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
A long-term commitment initiated in 2022
Altea Energy’s low-carbon strategy did not begin yesterday. In 2022, Pamela Bobillier, Transformation Director, launched the Group’s first Carbon Footprint Assessment, with the ambition of understanding and quantifying the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by all of Altea Energy’s activities, from its 8 offices and subsidiaries to the international mobilization of consultants on client sites.
Since then, the Group has renewed the exercise every year to monitor a concrete and measurable reduction trajectory.
“Controlling our environmental impact is a fundamental issue for us. We work with major players in the energy sector and help transform the global energy landscape. We are fully aware of the impact our industry has on climate conditions, and we are committed to contributing, at our level, to reducing carbon emissions,” explains Nicolas Kotliar, Co-Founder and CEO of Altea Energy.
The 2025 assessment: 1,201 tCO2e, with travel as the main source of carbon emissions
Conducted using the Sami digital platform in accordance with the GHG Protocol® methodology (market-based approach), the 2025 assessment covers the entirety of scopes 1, 2 and 3, with no exclusions.
In 2025, Altea Energy’s total carbon footprint amounted to 1,201 tCO2e.
The breakdown of emissions by category reflects a structure consistent with Altea Energy’s activities and those of its subsidiaries across Europe, Africa and the Middle East:
- Travel (62.5%): the largest source of emissions, mainly driven by air travel for Altea Energy consultants and teams
- Catering and accommodation (17.9%)
- Service procurement (6.2%)
- Digital activities (5.9%)
- Offices and facilities (3%)
“The weight of travel in our carbon footprint is consistent with our business model: mobilizing experts in more than 100 countries, often on remote sites or in hard-to-access desert areas, inevitably involves air transport. It is our main source of emissions, and also our main area for improvement. We are working to better manage these trips, without ever compromising the quality of service we owe our clients and consultants,” notes Pamela Bobillier, Transformation Director at Altea Energy.
A 50% reduction in economic carbon intensity since 2022
What makes the 2025 carbon assessment particularly significant is its economic intensity analysis, the ratio of CO2e emissions relative to revenue. This indicator enables fair comparisons between companies regardless of their size.
In 2025, Altea Energy recorded an economic carbon intensity of 52 kgCO2e/k€, compared to 102 kgCO2e/k€ in 2022.
This represents a 50% reduction in just three years, placing Altea Energy well below the sector average reported by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP): 117 kgCO2e/k€.
The Group’s target was to reduce this intensity by 7% per year through 2030, in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) recommendations derived from the Paris Agreement.
Actions implemented since 2022: from measurement to concrete action
Measuring a carbon footprint only makes sense when accompanied by tangible action. Since launching this initiative, Altea Energy has built a progressive action plan that has expanded year after year.
⭢ Raising team awareness: workshops and the Climate Fresk
Since 2022, internal workshops have been organized to raise awareness of climate issues and build a shared environmental culture across all levels of the Group.
This approach culminated in 2024 with the organization of a Climate Fresk workshop, bringing together around ten employees from the France, Algeria and Tunisia offices. This collaborative workshop enabled teams to better understand the mechanisms of climate change, from biodiversity loss to humanitarian crises, through an engaging and educational approach based on IPCC data.
⭢ Joining the #2024jeBASCULE movement
In July 2024, Altea Energy also joined the #2024jeBASCULE, initiative launched by Hype, Official Taxi Partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The objective: accelerate the transition toward zero-emission vehicles in urban transport by mobilizing companies and institutions around a shared commitment.
By signing this initiative, Altea Energy committed to prioritizing zero-emission taxis and ride-hailing vehicles whenever available at comparable quality and price. A concrete operational commitment directly aligned with the company’s main identified source of emissions.
⭢ Encouraging more sustainable daily mobility
Beyond major business travel, Altea Energy is also taking action on daily commuting. A remote work policy has been implemented to reduce home-to-office travel, complemented by recommendations to use public transportation to reach headquarters and carpooling initiatives in certain subsidiaries.
Simple actions, but actions that add up over time and help reduce the Group’s collective carbon footprint.
“The energy transition begins with collective awareness. Our teams are already highly aware of energy-related issues through their daily work. These workshops provide them with the tools to understand climate issues in their broader context and identify concrete levers for action, both individually and collectively. It is a human investment that we consider just as important as technical actions,” confirms Pamela Bobillier.
What comes next? Staying on track toward 2030
The progress made since 2022 is encouraging, but the journey does not stop here. Altea Energy continues to work alongside Sami’s low-carbon experts, with several initiatives already underway for the coming months.
Climate eco-challenges between subsidiaries
To maintain awareness momentum in an engaging way, internal climate eco-challenges are planned, creating friendly competition between the Group’s different subsidiaries.
A way to keep environmental issues alive in daily operations through a collective and gamified approach, while turning awareness into long-term habits.
A dedicated carbon offset budget
For residual emissions that cannot yet be avoided, particularly part of the business travel inherent to the company’s activities, Altea Energy plans to allocate a dedicated carbon offset budget to finance CO2 reduction or sequestration projects outside its value chain.
Bringing suppliers into the initiative
Altea Energy is committed to raising awareness among its key suppliers about the importance of measuring and reducing their own carbon footprint.
By prioritizing suppliers engaged in low-carbon initiatives, the Group acts on the economic intensity of its service procurement, identified as the second largest reduction lever after travel.
The Digital Fresk: taking action on digital impact too
Because digital activities represent nearly 6% of Altea Energy’s carbon footprint, a Digital Fresk workshop is also being considered to raise awareness among teams about the environmental impact of digital technology, from daily usage to the lifecycle of IT equipment.
The objective: create a virtuous circle around equipment reuse and the adoption of more sustainable digital practices.
“We are fortunate to work in a sector that is at the heart of the global energy transition. This gives us an additional responsibility to lead by example. Every action we take, however modest, contributes to a meaningful trajectory, and we firmly believe that the commitment of our entire community is the key to staying the course,” concludes Pamela Bobillier, Transformation Director at Altea Energy.
