What is Diag Decarbon’action?

The Diag Decarbon’action is a national initiative designed to support the ecological transition of businesses. It was launched by Bpifrance, in partnership with ADEME (the French Agency for Ecological Transition) and the Association Bilan Carbone.

The goal: to reduce corporate carbon footprints by helping companies start a structured and measurable process.

What is the program for?

In practical terms, Diag Decarbon’action allows a company to:

- conduct a comprehensive Carbon Footprint assessment (Scopes 1, 2, and 3)

- co-create an action plan to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

- develop a CSR roadmap to launch the first 10 concrete actions with stakeholders

‍

What are the objectives?

The program aims to:

- reduce energy consumption for businesses

- limit dependence on fossil fuels

- strengthen internal expertise on climate issues

- involve employees in the ecological transition

- improve the company's image with clients and partners

‍

How much does the Diag Decarbon’action cost?
