SFR

• With new products and services for remote management of various types of equipment, such as telemetry / telemanagement (e.g. remote reading of counters for real-time inventory management and automatic re-supply), telematics (e.g. remotely locating a vehicle fleet), telesurveillance (e.g. remote surveillance of sites with real-time notices of systems set-off or failure), SFR Entreprises’ "Machine to Machine" communicating objects also contribute to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases by businesses, municipalities, etc. who make use of this type of solution. An eco-calculator is being developed to better quantify the gains (to be applied initially to buildings and transport).

• In 2008, the effort to optimise business travel was also maintained with the deployment of new videoconferencing equipment, audio/webconferencing, and experimentation with telepresence. Similarly, "T.écovoiturage," the first student carpooling service via mobile device, launched by SFR in early 2008 in the Ile-de-France region, was broadened to the national level at year’s end. The service is now available to more than 1.5 million students all over France (85 campuses).

• In2008, more than two million customers subscribed to dematerialised billing. At the same time, SFR deployed an environmentally-friendly envelope, made from sawmill waste (wood chips), for customers who have not opted for e-billing.

Activision Blizzard

Activision Blizzard is taking part in California’s Parking Cash-Out program. The program allows employers who subsidise parking spaces for their employees to offer financial compensation in lieu of a parking place. The program encourages employees to reduce car travel in favour of public transportation, bicycling, walking, or carpooling

Canal+ Group

In 2008 the Canal+ group launched its "Happy Planet" program for raising awareness of environmental-protection issues. The program is aimed at making the Canal+ group an environmentally responsible company and positioning it as the media leader in that area. The measures defined have to do with the life of the company, but also the ways in which the group produces, promotes and distributes its programs.

This project was initiated with three major areas in mind:

• An internal network of correspondents was set up early in 2008 within each management department in the company – more than 300 group employees, at all hierarchical levels, contributed to this network, submitting ideas for an action plan for each activity;
• A detailed carbon-balance study of the environmental impacts and issues of all the Group’s activities – from content editing to sales, and including technical areas – was conducted;
• An action plan in all the Group’s business areas focused on two main points:
  • eco-responsibility of the pay-television business sector regarding receiving and decoding equipment, sales relations, customer relations, program production, and the internal functioning of the teams;
  • eco-responsibility of the media regarding the balance and diversity of the information and programming broadcast via the various Canal+ group channels.
