Environmental Vision: The EMC2B Approach

AREP has the ambition to become a reference in sustainable architecture. In January 2021, the company set its mission to "invent a post-carbon future" by providing "concrete, frugal, and resilient solutions inspired by the low-tech approach".[4] AREP's environmental strategy is built around the acronym EMC2B: Energy, Material, Carbon, Climate, and Biodiversity. This framework is used to assess the ecological impact of the agency's various projects.

Organisation

AREP is organised into four subsidiaries: AREP (Project management in France), PARVIS (Project support), AREP Ville (Architectural and town planning studies) and MENIGHETTI Programmation (urban and architectural project management, and service plans).
