📋 Tender Overview
Kalisterre is the qualification of ecological engineering works companies. It is awarded to companies capable of carrying out quality ecological engineering projects by an independent body whose governance is ensured by structures representing all the players concerned by ecological engineering work.Ecological engineering covers work that aims to promote the preservation restoration and resilience of environments and ecosystems. In view of the deployment of the European green taxonomy the new regulation which assesses sustainable economic activities this rapidly evolving sector has its place. To better contribute to the restoration of biodiversity Eiffages biodiversity action plan promotes the Groups ecological engineering activity in connection with earthworks and infrastructure activities but also development construction and concessions. With ecological engineering the Group works to serve life.Eiffage has proven skills in this area. Subsidiaries carry out highly qualitative work in this area Eiffage Gnie Civil Terrassement Forzienne Eiffage Route as well as Eiffage Travaux maritimes et fluvial ETMF as well as APRR. Renaturation of sites or soils remediation and ecological development of watercourses creation of artificial habitats fight against invasive alien species development of works promoting the ecological transparency of infrastructures etc. more than 50 inter-branch commercial references were documented in this area in 2021.The ecological engineering sector is being structured. The UPGE Professional Union of Ecological Engineering one of the major players in the sector of which Eiffage has been a member since 2020 recently created the Kalisterre professional qualification in order to recognize the skills and know-how necessary for the exercise of engineering professions. ecological. A first Forzienne agency MCPC - Massif Central Poitou Charentes agency located in Lempdes Puy-de-Dme has just obtained the Groups very first Kalisterre qualification. Forziennes objective is to qualify all of its agencies soon.In fact within Forzienne ecological engineering is asserting itself as an activity in its own right with regard to the challenges of ecological transition. The company intends to further develop this activity in which earthworks have their place in response to an increasingly important and specialized demand.Its scope of intervention concernsRestorationrenaturation of watercourses lnes backwaters wetlandsThe restoration of fish farming continuitiesThe creation of habitats ponds hibernacula etc. The treatment of invasive alien plant species.As a reminder the Groups environmental policy focuses on the following ambitionsMinimize our environmental footprintControl the risks of our activitiesIncrease the positive effects of our activity and its development on the environment. Our plan is not only to develop this activity within the Group in connection with the fabric of specialized companies but also to fully support the creation of a training course dedicated to ecological engineering in order to provide young technicians and engineers the skills of the future that they also call for in connection with respect for life.
