Mission-led company
A new mission statement to continue a historic commitment
Convinced that the business must be useful to society as a whole, in 2021 VALOREM set out to define and affirm its mission. To become a mission-led business you need to question your position and your entrepreneurial role in order to build a fairer and more sustainable society. This involves doing more in terms of CSR and making a commitment that is visible to all.

Our purpose
- Promote together: VALOREM means “to add value”, the very essence of our company is to build projects hand in hand with stakeholders;
- The localities’ energies: the concept of localities is pivotal to VALOREM’S philosophy. The projects fulfil local planning needs by adding value in order to support their development;
- To pave the way: i.e. innovate, tackle new solutions. In 1994 VALOREM was a wind energy pioneer in France and continues to explore alternative methods of producing green energy and benefitting citizens;
- Towards a sustainable and inclusive future: renewable energy contributes to building a sustainable future for future generations. Socially responsible, because energy must be accessible to all, and because, for us, renewable energy must be a tangible lever for promoting inclusion through economic activity and fighting energy poverty.
Our roadmap
1 Decarbonising the energy system
Today, the energy transition requires us to go beyond simply generating renewable electricity. Achieving climate targets means decarbonising the entire energy system, as well as the ways in which energy is produced, distributed and consumed.
Providing clean, affordable and accessible energy remains essential, but it is no longer sufficient. We must now accelerate the transformation of energy use by developing renewable, flexible and locally adapted solutions.
As a committed renewable energy company, VALOREM is determined to play an active role in decarbonising the energy mix. The Group advocates for clean, affordable and accessible energy that strengthens communities’ resilience to the impacts of climate change. This commitment also extends to active participation in public debate to help create the conditions for an ambitious and responsible energy transition.
2 Protecting natural ecosystems and maximising the positive environmental impact of our projects
Renewable energy is a vital response to the climate crisis. By generating electricity from inexhaustible resources, without CO₂ emissions and with minimal waste, renewable energy contributes directly to combating climate change and, in turn, to protecting biodiversity.
At the same time, the VALOREM Group is committed to integrating its renewable energy facilities as harmoniously as possible into their surrounding environments and to maximising the positive environmental impact of every project.
3 Empowering our employees to drive the ecological transition by providing an engaging and fulfilling workplace
As an independent, people-focused company, VALOREM has preserved a strong collective spirit built on core values: collaboration, entrepreneurial initiative, shared responsibility and knowledge sharing.
Our employees are the driving force behind the quality of our projects and the trusted relationships we build with stakeholders. That is why VALOREM is committed to providing a motivating working environment, involving employees in the value created by the business, and empowering them to become active contributors to the ecological transition, both professionally and in their personal lives.
4 Championing and delivering a just transition for local communities
The VALOREM Group is committed to contributing to a sustainable energy future by actively engaging local communities and stakeholders from both the public and private sectors. This commitment is built on two core principles: fostering meaningful stakeholder dialogue at every stage of project development and ensuring that the economic value created is shared fairly to benefit local communities and regions.
Beyond renewable energy development, VALOREM promotes a vision of the energy transition rooted in solidarity and equity. Through its endowment fund, Watt for Change, the Group supports social inclusion initiatives that create employment opportunities in local communities and combats energy poverty in France and internationally.
The VALOREM Group joined the United Nations Global Compact in 2024, thereby reaffirming its commitment to integrating the ten universal principles of the United Nations – relating to human rights, international labour standards, the environment and the fight against corruption – into all its activities. By joining this international initiative, the Group is also contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) most directly linked to its core business, in particular:
In accordance with the requirements of the Compact, the VALOREM Group published its first Communication on Progress (CoP) in 2025, detailing the concrete actions it has taken to promote a sustainable and responsible energy model. Among its flagship initiatives, the Group notably built the world’s first wind turbine foundation made from low-carbon concrete containing 0% clinker, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of civil engineering works, and developed an agrivoltaic project in France with crowdfunding of 100,000 euros, combining renewable energy production with the preservation of local agricultural activities.
