PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Like Eiffage, APRR believes that the challenges facing the living world and the environment are best addressed by considering every link in the chain formed by the Group’s activities, including network construction and maintenance, customer service and improvements in energy performance.
Implementing the environmental protection policy accounts for 12% of the cost of a new motorway. Protecting the environment and reducing the impact of our activities are key goals of all APRR projects.

APRR is committed to biodiversity protection and  rational resource management. APRR’s wide-ranging initiatives to preserve biodiversity include biological corridors, wildlife crossings and tunnels, bat roosts, etc. 
APRR also strives to harness the know-how available within the Group and to adopt lean techniques that limit consumption of natural resources. 

APRR has made managing its carbon footprint a strategic goal. The Group strives to cut greenhouse gas emissions at every level of its activity, from infrastructure construction and modernisation, to building renovation and curtailing unnecessary employee travel. The resulting leaner energy performance has no impact on motorway users’ safety or comfort.
