By placing responsible growth at the heart of its businesses (energy, energy services and the environment), its mission is to meet major challenges: meeting energy needs, ensuring security of supply, combating climate change, and optimizing the use of resources.

GBS is part of ENGIE, partnering with the support functions for the ENGIE's Business Units and Corporate.
