It is crucial that these commitments be followed up with actions. That is why we have decided to ensure that their implementation is cascaded right down to the field, by producing country-specific roadmaps. So in 2023, each of our subsidiaries put forward its own plan to reduce carbon emissions, to help us reach our overall target. And we are involved in a Science-Based Targets initiative(1)(SBTi) approach to reduce our emissions in the short term. Meanwhile, our community of leaders also demonstrated its collective determination to change things at our first Climate Conference. And as far as our projects are concerned, we have continued to support our clients, helping them to become more sustainable by deploying our sustainable design and construction methodologies. Each and every member of the SYSTRA family honours these commitments on a day-to-day basis, and we are keen to share them with the new employees who have joined us in the wake of our recent acquisitions. This collective momentum will be crucial in the long-term for enabling us to provide people with increasingly sustainable mobility solutions.
