SNCF Connect & Tech focuses on eco-design and accessibility

The European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires large companies to provide detailed non-financial reporting on their social and environmental impacts, effective from January 2025. The aim is to increase transparency on social and environmental impacts and risks, while raising companies' awareness of the risks associated with their activities. Even if this new regulation is not directly applicable to SNCF Connect & Tech, a private subsidiary of SNCF Voyageurs, Mathilde Lecompte, is a driving force behind the exercise. "We need to anticipate the potential evolution of the directive, better take into account our impacts, and be able to respond to our parent company's requests."

Mathilde reviews the best practices already implemented at SNCF Connect & Tech where a double materiality assessment (as required by the CSRD) has been conducted. To illustrate,  eco-design is prioritised to mitigate pollution linked to smartphones and data centres, and accessibility of the digital services developed at SNCF Connect & Tech is ensured.
