Discover the Green Trust Services by SOCOTEC: sustainability, energy efficiency and innovative solutions for a greener future.

At SOCOTEC, we are committed to sustainability in all its dimensions. Through our GREEN & TRUST by SOCOTEC services, we provide innovative solutions that are reflected in a wide variety of sustainable projects and numerous specialized technical articles.

These articles highlight our innovative solutions in energy efficiency, sustainable construction, environmental management and circular economy. With every project, from green buildings to resilient infrastructure, we reaffirm our commitment to the environment, demonstrating how it is possible to combine technical innovation with social and environmental responsibility.

 

SOCOTEC's Green Trust strategy aims to reduce our carbon emissions in accordance with the SBTI methodology to ensure that SOCOTEC complies with a global warming scenario of 1.5 degrees Celsius (according to the Paris Agreement, 2015), as well as to consolidate 50% of our turnover by 2028 as Sustainable according to the European Taxonomy. Offering sustainable services is not an extra, but an obligation that today is already part of 28% of our services.

TRUST&TECH

Technology at the service of sustainability and trust

TRUST&TECH

In an increasingly demanding environment, digital transformation and technical credibility are critical. At SOCOTEC, we develop a proprietary approach we call Trust & Tech: a strategy that combines technological innovation with the critical role we play as a trusted independent third party.

Through advanced tools such as BIM, digital twins, CFD simulation, remote instrumentation or proprietary data analysis platforms, we improve the quality, traceability and efficiency of our services. This technological layer allows:

  • Accurately audit complex assets and extend their lifecycle.
  • Detect opportunities for decarbonisation, energy efficiency and circularity with predictive models.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance through traceable and secure digital flows.
  • To offer an objective and transparent assessment that reinforces trust between customers, investors and regulators.

Trust & Tech is also an ethical and structural response to today's challenges. As an entity with more than 250 official accreditations and aligned with frameworks such as the European Taxonomy and the Green Deal, we provide technical guarantees that transform sustainability into real and measurable value.
