Strategy
Planet
The LISI Group is committed to preserving the environment. As such, it takes its part in the collective effort involved in the energy transition. Deployed at all levels of the company, its strategy is structured around strong convictions: environmental issues constitute a major challenge for humanity and require long-term thinking. The world is subject to permanent disruption and requires organizations that are agile and able to adjust. Diversity is a strength and companies must have a positive impact on society and in the territories they occupy.
LISI’s actions are guided by these anchor points.

Carbon footprint
CO2 emissions:
-37 % in 4 years (2019‑2023)
The LISI Group's carbon footprint stands at 642,366 tons of CO2. Overall greenhouse gas emissions are down 37% compared to 2019. Scope 1 and 2 emissions (direct and indirect energy-related emissions) represent 11% of the carbon footprint. Scope 3 (indirect emissions) alone represents 89% of the total. It includes purchased raw materials (34% of the Group's emissions), goods and services other than raw materials (33% of the footprint), and finally capital expenditures, which account for 10% of emissions. The challenges of sustainable reduction of the LISI Group's carbon footprint therefore lie in its ability to source less carbon-intensive raw materials, goods and services and to encourage its suppliers to reduce their carbon footprint. This is what is intended by the agreement signed by LISI AUTOMOTIVE with ArcelorMittal.
“We must stimulate the eco-design of products and innovation in processes and question the most costly investments from the angle of the Profit (€) / Planet (T. CO2 eq.) balance”

Renewable energies
Effective photovoltaic production at 3 plants
The production of renewable energies, which has been in the pipeline for several years, is a reality in the Group. In 2023, 3 Group plants – Fuenlabrada in Spain and Mellrichstadt in Germany at LISI AUTOMOTIVE and Rugby in the United Kingdom at LISI AEROSPACE put into production the installation of photovoltaic panels and managed to generate 14%, 3% and 1% of their annual consumption, respectively, i.e. 0.4% of the Group's overall annual consumption. Two of these facilities (Mellrichstadt and Rugby) went into production in the second half of 2023 and should reach full power in 2024. In Mellrichstadt, the 4,500 m2 of panels should ultimately produce around 700 MWh/year and thus generate savings. of 170 tons of CO2. More modest in size, the Rugby project involves 1,270 m2 of panels and should produce 248 MWh/year, representing savings of 48 tons of CO2 equivalent.
“This equipment also allows employees equipped with electric cars – around twenty – to recharge their vehicles using the energy generated by the solar panels,” commented Mark Capell, General manager of the Rugby site. In Spain, the Fuenlabrada site, a Group pioneer in renewable energies, enjoys particularly favorable sunshine. “With a surface area of 4,000 m2 of panels which allow us to produce 1,130 MWh/year (437 T. CO2 eq.), our site has managed to reduce its carbon footprint by 390 T. CO2 eq. per year and should ultimately improve our production costs,” commented Lorenzo Jimenez, General Manager.
Hydroelectric power: a first in Canada
For the first time in its history, a LISI Group site is supplied with energy of 100% hydroelectric origin. The entire electrical consumption and 85% of the total energy consumption of the Dorval site at LISI AEROSPACE (i.e. 7,145 MWh) were actually produced from a hydroelectric production site. In May 2023 the site also signed a contract for the supply of biogas to replace natural gas.
Territories
Act on water stress area sites
Eleven LISI Group sites are located in areas experiencing water stress. In 2023, they defined an action plan to reduce water consumption which will be implemented from 2024 onwards. Concurrently, the Group reduced its water consumption by -19.9% compared to 2022. Several sites at LISI AEROSPACE have also installed rainwater recovery basins. The Villefranche-de-Rouergue (south of France) site made it possible to recover 8,039 m3 of water consumed for production (22% of the site’s requirements). The Rugby (United Kingdom) and Izmir (Turkey) sites have deployed similar equipment.
