This category aims to highlight projects that contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, underlining the Fayat Group's commitment to major environmental issues.

These figures demonstrate a growing interest year on year, consolidating the culture of innovation within the company.
The Fayat Innovation Challenge as a catalyst for innovation:
The FIC is more than just a competition. It gives significant visibility to projects within the subsidiaries, propelling the winners towards turning their ideas into reality. This exposure enables them to find internal and external support, while arousing the interest of other subsidiaries facing similar problems. Encouraging cross-functionality and synergies, the Fayat Innovation Challenge establishes a culture of audacity and creativity within the Group. This collaborative approach is reflected in the innovative products and services we offer, reinforcing our ability to stand out from the crowd.
