SOCIETE POUR L'INFORMATIQUE INDUSTRIELLE

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.

As part of the Scope 1+2 -45% by 2030 plan, SII will source renewable energy with a guarantee of origin and continue Energy Efficiency Plan initiatives. SII Spain favors renewable energy sources and eco-labeled equipment to reduce environmental footprint.

The report does not describe any carbon removal (DAC, BECCS, biochar, afforestation) or structured offset retirement programme. The Decarbonisation Plan references absolute emission reductions via SBTi methodology but does not mention purchasing offsets or removals as a residual strategy. Nature-based solutions are not mentioned.
