The indirect emissions related to ethanol consumption are excluded from the
scope in order to take into account the emissions of scope 1.
The amount of CO
2
emissions attributable to vehicles remains unchanged.
In France, Canal+ Group is continuing its efforts to replace its vehicles
with greener vehicles, which has enabled it to reduce its CO
2
emissions
by 30 g/km per vehicle over the past five years. Moreover, Canal+ has
introduced an electric shuttle to enable employees to circulate between
the Issy-les-Moulineaux and the Boulogne-Billancourt facilities. The
employees receive training in eco-friendly behavior in a number of the
Canal+ Group’s subsidiaries in Poland and Asia.
UMG in Sweden has invested in electric vehicles, which are provided
to its employees for business travel. UMG in California has included
resources in its 2015 budget to install two recharging stations for electric
or hybrid vehicles.
In order to limit the impact of business travel and commuting by its
employees, which are the chief sources of GVT’s CO
2
emissions, the
company has made travel by its employees more efficient by converting
part of its automobile fleet, nearly 30% of which now relies on ethanol.
Vivendi SA has introduced the use of hybrid vehicles.

The facility comprising all Canal+ Group’s free channels is BREEAM (BRE
Environmental Assessment Method) certified. This facility is equipped
with free cooling generators using outdoor air to cool film sets and
equipment. This leads to an average of 13% in annual energy savings,
which is the equivalent of 100 tons of CO
2
.
Several initiatives taken by Canal+ Group’s subsidiaries are helping to
reduce CO
2
emissions, such as reinforcing the insulation of offices and
warehouses, in particular in Senegal. In Vietnam, the air conditioning
system was replaced by a new more efficient system that uses a
refrigerant that contributes less to greenhouse gases. At some UMG
facilities, more than 70% of the electricity consumed comes from
renewable sources. In terms of energy offsetting, Universal Music France
is committed to diversifying its energy supply sources by purchasing EDF
“Équilibre+” contracts.
