A Decade of the ENGIE Brand

Our brand may only be 10 years old, but our roots stretch back more than a century. ENGIE has a long history in energy operations: from its beginnings in Belgium in the 19th century, to connections in Egypt in 1858, and ultimately to the birth of GDF Suez in 2008.

GDF Suez laid the foundation for the future with investments in renewable energy, even before the birth of ENGIE in 2015. This is when the existing brand emerged – a strategic shift to make ENGIE the champion of the new energy world.

Each chapter in our history has relied on services in engineering, construction, heating and cooling networks, and environmental solutions – all designed to meet the evolving needs and imperatives tied to energy.

With more than 150 years of history and 98,000 employees, we have successfully reinvented ourselves while remaining true to our primary focus “to be useful to people,” useful to society as a whole.
