At AS ALLIANCE R&D, we are convinced that sustainable development issues need to be integrated into project selection and definition processes. Considering the current realities of climate change and developments in this field, companies that develop products and services likely to promote a real socio-ecological transition will be the winners and leaders of tomorrow.
From our understanding of modern history, it is clear that developments in modern science and technology have played a decisive role in the evolution of our present-day societies. It follows that scientific and technological knowledge will be key factors in finding solutions to environmental and climatic issues, and in resolving the current stumbling blocks to socio-ecological transition.
The construction of ecological homes in eco-neighborhood contexts brings many sustainable ecological benefits, as well as enhancing the quality of life and vitality of communities. This calls for new materials and construction principles that consume less energy and resources, while maximizing the durability of components and their use.
Transport electrification projects have great potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the coming decades. The changes required, in terms of product design, industrialization and operation, call for the development of new technological approaches requiring major investments.
The development of high-efficiency industrial equipment and processes (low energy consumption coupled with high industrial performance) brings significant competitive advantages for companies and society. Their development requires major efforts to identify the potential for energy savings
We advocate the concept of ecoherence, i.e. an economy that is consistent with ecology. Technologies linked to the circular economy and/or processes favoring local sourcing and resource conservation are to be favored.
