Objective:

• Contribute to the Carbon Neutral Plan through the implementation of initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GES) generated by the Group's property, IT systems and business travel

Priorities:

• Propose alternative solutions when it comes to purchasing and consumption in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Carry out a "supplier watch" to ensure that the Group benefits from the very latest innovation in the field
• Propose solutions aimed at reducing our greenhouse gas emissions as a department

Highlights in 2008

• As an alternative to the standard use of taxis in Paris, a contract was signed with a new supplier with a fleet of hybrid cars. Each trip is consequently offset by the purchase of CO₂ CERs which selects and supports sustainable development projects;
• "Green" vehicles are now included in the long-term leasing catalogue and should contribute to reducing (with an objective of 120,4g/CO₂₎ the average production of CO₂. The Group’s long-term leasing company was awarded the Citizen Car Fleet price
• An Eco-comparator, is now a feature of the online booking service of our travel agency and aims to heighten user awareness of the environmental impact of their trips and to help them optimise their business travel needs;
• Over 150 videoconferencing rooms have been set up around the world in order to reduce business travel;
• A paper guide called Consommons moins, consommons mieux (Let's consume less, let's consume better) has been published on the editing, printing and distribution of documents).
