Whether you're a large corporation, a SME, or a local authority, we offer customized solutions to help you reduce emissions, save costs, and meet your sustainability goals.
Why was Carbon Shift launched?
We are at a pivotal moment where balancing human activities with environmental preservation is an absolute necessity to build a sustainable future.
For economic players, the pressure to adopt decarbonized and sustainable models is increasing (due to the awareness of business leaders, investor demands, regulatory obligations, risk management, consumer demand, and the attractiveness of green jobs). Many of them wish to focus on their core business processes and therefore need support to define realistic goals, focus on the most efficient technical and financial solutions, and find the right partners to drive their ecosystem forward.
That’s why Equans launched Carbon Shift, an integrated approach to help decision-makers tackle their transformation challenges towards a sustainable model.
