# SYSTRA adheres to Engineering companies’ charter for climate change

![SYSTRA adheres to Engineering companies’ charter for climate change](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/20191105-pvclimat.jpg)

The Engineering companies’ charter for climate change was signed by SYSTRA on 24
October 2019 at the MEET.INGÉ, the annual engineering recruitment forum for
students and young graduates, in the presence of all the member companies of
Syntec-Ingénierie. It is based on three major commitments:

**1.           Act concretely in favour of the climate through the projects entrusted to us**

**2.           Sustainably reduce the carbon footprint of our own activities**

**3.           Support our employees’ commitment to the climate.**

The professional federation of French engineering, of which Pierre Verzat is
also president, wanted to be part of this necessary approach. Syntec-Ingénierie
proposes to overcome a twofold challenge:

- Accelerate the climate awareness of companies and change customer requirements
  in this area;
- Consider the expectations of tomorrow’s talents who seek to give meaning to
  their career paths and prefer to join responsible companies.

Through this initiative, SYSTRA is reminding us that engineering is at the heart
of the solutions that will enable us to meet the challenges of a future with a
lower carbon impact.

> Today, SYSTRA is demonstrating its determination to go further down the road
> to sustainable development, following the environmental policy signed at the
> beginning of the year. This will be reflected in concrete terms in a specific
> roadmap with commitments to combat global warming and increasingly sustainable
> solutions. Through this Charter, we want to make this known to our clients,
> our stakeholders and the generation to come.
> Pierre VERZAT, Chief Executive Officer
