In 2014, Vivendi continued to improve the process of gathering

environmental data bycollecting more reliable data and also by expanding

the scope covered by reporting. For some data, this has resulted in a

significant change in the figures compared with the previous year.

6.1. General Environmental Policy

The group’s business units with little exposure to environmental risks

prepare their own action plans to measure and control their impacts. The

methods used include energy assessments, certifications, and training

and information sessions for employees.

In 2014, six energy assessments were carried out by UMG. They involved

UMG’s five main facilities in the United Kingdom and one in Poland. The

assessments on UMG’s four main facilities in the United Kingdom were

conducted by the leading commercial real estate services firm, CBRE (CB

Richard Ellis). These assessments led to a detailed energy diagnostic with

a view to investment during 2015 to reduce the energy imprint of those

buildings.

GVT used an outside provider to conduct an energy assessment to

evaluate possible cost reductions for 41 buildings across the country. The

results will be known in early 2015.
