Alten Group
Headline intensities
Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.
OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.
EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?
PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.
Strategy & approach
How the firm describes its decarbonisation approach in its own words — alongside the headline numbers above. Self-reported, page-cited.
No narrative on renewables strategy in the firm's most recent reports.
Via the NGO REFOREST'ACTION, ALTEN helps finance reforestation of forests in France, Peru and Senegal. Nature-based contribution rather than durable engineered removals (DAC/BECCS).
- Office building energy performance and sobriety
ALTEN has chosen to occupy buildings whose energy performance contributes to its commitment to sobriety. The Environmental Management System (EMS) covers 70% of CSR headcount, with some entities ISO 14001 certified. Approach based on risk analysis and continuous improvement.
- Fleet electrification and commuting mobility policy
Mobility policy supports employees switching to more environmentally-friendly modes of transport for commuting and limits business travel impact. Move towards electrification of vehicle fleets with installation of charging stations in car parks is a major contribution.
- Responsible purchasing and supplier engagement
As part of responsible purchasing policy, ALTEN assesses suppliers' environmental approach. For less mature suppliers, ALTEN plans to support them in their progress by sharing experience and network.
- Sustainable innovation R&D for clients
31% of ALTEN R&D is dedicated to sustainable innovation in 2023, up from 4% in 2018, 11% (2019), 19% (2020), 22% (2021), 25% (2022). Green AI, Green IT, eco-design, Smart Mobility, Smart Green & Secure Systems programmes embed sustainability in client-facing engineering work.
