About us

For nearly 40 years, setec énergie environnement has been accompanying public and private project owners in the consultancy, design and implementation of projects with significant environmental and energy implications.

We operate in France and internationally throughout the entire project lifecycle, from strategy definition through to operational implementation.

Our business: turning challenges into practical solutions

From strategy to action: end-to-end value chain support.

Our core business is design, manage and secure environmental and energy projects. Thanks to a multidisciplinary engineering and a 360-degree vision, we intervene at every stage:

Upstream

To analyse the issues, evaluate the impacts, build scenarios and define transition pathways. These studies objectify the challenges and lay the foundations for sustainable projects.

At the heart of the projects

To integrate environmental and climatic restrictions into the design, supervision and delivery of development projects (Owner’s assistance, design & construction supervision). From the initial project definition through to monitoring of the works, we ensure technical, environmental and budgetary consistency.

Downstream

To measure performance, document actual impacts, capitalise on feedback and share knowledge. This continuous improvement process enriches practices and strengthens the impact of projects.

Multidisciplinary teams dedicated to projects

Our teams bring together complementary areas of expertise: climate strategy, biodiversity, ecological engineering, environmental regulation, life cycle assessment (LCA), environmental monitoring, the circular economy, waste recovery, renewable energy, decarbonisation, CO2 capture …

Organised around project-based approaches, they bring together different areas of expertise to provide global solutions to complex issues.

Our local presence , combined with a network of scientific, technical and academic partners, enables us to operate in a variety of settings: urban, industrial, natural, coastal and marine environments.

We thereby support projects in France and internationally, adapting our methods to each regulatory, environmental and socio-economic framework.

our brands and subsidiaries

Within setec énergie environnement, specialised brands and subsidiaries strengthen our capacity for action and extend our geographical and thematic coverage. Together, we bring together more than 260 experts to offer a global vision – from sea to land – on all environmental issues.

Our brand dedicated to marine environments operates globally on marine renewable energy projects, submarine cable laying, port development, maritime infrastructure and Marine Protected Areas.

A major player in environmental assessment since 2004, our subsidiary provides recognised expertise in terrestrial biodiversity, landscape, water and agronomy, as well as in wind and photovoltaic project engineering.

Our subsidiary is digitising waste management by drawing on 35 years of expertise in material recovery. Its platform centralises regulatory documents, connects producers and buyers, and monitors performance through precise indicators. Traceability, automated reporting and optimisation value creation for all stakeholders in the supply chain.

a setec group company

The strength of a group, the expertise of a specialist: we combine the agility of specialist engineering with the power of a multidisciplinary group setec present in France and internationally. This complementarity allows us to mobilise the most appropriate expertise and support projects of any scale, from strategic studies to the most complex implementations.

where do we operate?

Projects in France and internationally

We assist public and private clients in a variety of contexts: urban and rural territories, industrial and port facilities, natural areas, coastal and marine environments.

Internationally, we primarily operate in countries where the group setec is established to contribute to key infrastructure projects while ensuring our recommendations are adapted to local realities.

Our aim remains the same: to design replicable and transferable solutions, capable of inspiring other projects and other regions.

Carte du monde

our clients
