Towards a sustainable development
September's momentums, like the European Week for Sustainable Development and the internal Sustainable Development Week organised within SYSTRA group, are the opportunity to remind everyone that SYSTRA is committed to developing a Climate Trajectory in line with Paris Agreement to help achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
?? Christelle CHICHIGNOUD, Group Sustainability Director: "The challenges of climate change are more present than ever in our activities and the projects we carry out. Our Climate Trajectory enables us to measure the carbon emissions of our sites and the environmental impact of our projects."

Everyone on a bike? ??
?? Bicycle is on everyone's lips and rather under everyone's soles: after the historic boom seen in the post-pandemic months, the trend remains clear ??, even if adoption varies greatly from one area to another. How can we support this trend to ensure a barrier-free future for cycling? Our SYSTRA experts Guillaume FICAT-ANDRIEU, Guillaume Paix and David Alderson, gave their thoughts on how to keep the pace.
?? Our Client Centricity programme takes on a new dimension!
This year, our #connectedteams rallied to win a "Client Level-Up Award" from among 5 Awards categories covering the entire life cycle of a client.
?Congratulations to the 5 winning teams and their captains, Artemisia Battista , Fran?ois Gibault , Lovan Pushparatnam , Ian Robinson and Robert Shepherd, who presented their projects at the Global Management Conference attended by the Group's top managers.
?? Each of these initiatives, out of a total of 38 submitted by our subsidiaries, will now be rolled out across the Group. Our ambition is to turn them into success stories for our clients and for SYSTRA!
Installation of an innovative railway track designed by SYSTRA in the port of Marseille-Fos
?? The Grand Port Maritime de Marseille - Port de Marseille Fos ?? is welcoming to its rail network a major world innovation in ballastless track designed by SYSTRA, which supervised the implementation work, and Stradal.
This innovative concept was presented at #InnoTrans in 2022:
In a few words:
? It is designed for all rail lines, including high-speed lines ??, whether for passenger transport (TGV/TER/Intercités/Métro/RER) or freight transport
? It is resilient to climate risks and respectful of the environment ??
? It is easy and economical to install, and maintenance is considerably reduced compared with conventional track ??
?? Major milestones in Chile!
September was a busy month for SYSTRA Chile, achieved with the inauguration on 25 September of the extension of Line 3 of the Santiago Metro ?? by the President of the Republic Gabriel Boric with our client Metro de Santiago S.A.
Our #connectedteams in Santiago, Lyon and Paris have pooled their expertise to integrate the systems and conduct the tests for this first extension of an automatic metro in the Chilean capital, that has 7 lines.
?? Prior to this event were delivered the plans for a brand-new rail maintenance workshop for the Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado in Chillán, in central Chile.
This new infrastructure will be dedicated to a new fleet of trains, better connecting the country following the ambitious country programme, "Chile sobre rieles" (Chile on the rails). A programme in which SYSTRA and all its entities, including our new colleagues from SYSTRA Subterra , are committed with ongoing projects accross the country.
Have you heard of Carbontracker?
#Carbontracker is SYSTRA's digital solution for all infrastructure projects ????, designed to quantify CO2 emissions and reduce them through design.
It enables our clients to:
? Make the most appropriate design, construction and maintenance choices for their project in terms of cost, time and carbon footprint,
? Visualise in real time during the design phase the emissions reduced by implementing an eco-design approach,
? And to illustrate their contribution to the global effort to protect the climate.
Jean Charles Vollery, SYSTRA Group Chief Operating Officer: "Our engineering business gives us the opportunity to influence the reduction of carbon emissions, the management of resources and the impact of climate change, in agreement with our clients. Our Sustainable Design and Construction Framework, which identifies the levers for action and the indicators for measuring our efforts, was born of this desire."

At SYSTRA SWS, the week was the opportunity to participate to the "Giretto d'Italia 2023" on September 20th, to promote and spread the use of micromobility means in urban areas, especially home-work and home-school trips.
