The purpose brings together the company, its employees, its clients and its shareholders, and reconciles economic performance with a positive impact on people and the planet. ENGIE's actions are assessed in their entirety and over time. 

ENGIE is refocusing: 

- We are focusing on our four core activities: renewable energy, energy solutions, networks, and thermal production & energy supply. We are reorganizing around four Global Business Units to gain in clarity and performance.  

- We are focusing on a geographic footprint reduced to less than 30 countries by 2030 (compared with 70 in 2018) 

- We are implementing a performance plan whose two pillars will be digitalization and data, and strengthening our culture of operational excellence with a plan to save 600 million euros by 2023. 

- We are regrouping some of our service activities by creating an entity that will be a leader in technical services. 

We are accelerating our growth in renewable energy and in low carbon distributed energy infrastructures: 

- We will be developing Renewables by allocating almost 45% of our growth investments by 2023. We are targeting an additional annual capacity of 3 GW in 2021, then 4 GW/year from 2022 to 2025, and 6 GW from 2026. 

- In energy solutions, we aim to develop additional capacity of 8 GW by 2025 in low carbon distributed energy infrastructures. 

- Convinced that gas is an essential lever in the energy transition, we are strengthening our role as a pioneer by building a strong position in renewable gas, and more specifically hydrogen. We are aiming for a renewable hydrogen production capacity of 4 GW by 2030, 700 km of dedicated hydrogen networks and the installation of more than 100 fueling stations for hydrogen mobility.
