🚴♂️🛴Green mobility will conclude our summer series dedicated to discovering the eco-responsible initiatives and solutions deployed by the Group around the world. Whether non-motorised (walking, cycling, etc.) or motorised (car-pooling, car-sharing, etc.), green mobility refers to all means of transport that produce little or no pollution. To encourage alternative means of transport (bicycle or electric bicycle, scooter or electric scooter, electric unicycle), the Group has set up a number of infrastructures and services such as: - The electrification of our car fleet (programme underway), - Parking spaces for traditional bicycles/electric bikes, traditional scooters/electric scooters, unicycles, - Car-sharing services for professional or personal use and car-pooling for home-work journeys, - Charging stations, repair points and bike-sharing services, - For certain sites, specific facilities such as a shuttle service for teams in Chennai, India. The results speak for themselves; these actions have already led to a reduction of more than 655 tonnes of CO2 equivalent and savings of close to 170,000 euros. By working together for more sustainable mobility, the Group is actively contributing to preserving the environment and reducing its carbon footprint.

Having previously presented the Group's eco-responsible initiatives in the areas of water management, waste management and the circular economy, this week we are focusing on the well-being of our employees. This includes the quality of life at work, which is a key driver of overall commitment and performance. 🏃♂️🌿🚼 The Group's workspaces are adapting and evolving in line with the new uses and needs of our staff: - To encourage employees to practice sports and promote a healthy lifestyle, the Group has a number of sites in France and abroad equipped with showers. - Gardens, vegetable patches, roof-tops, relaxation areas, open-air workspaces, etc. are available in the Group's various buildings. - Our office in Hong-Kong has been equipped with height-adjustable desks, a relaxation room and Zen bubbles as part of its refurbishment. - Lastly, support for young mothers with lactation rooms available in our Paris office.

We are resolutely pursuing an ambitious decarbonisation programme and have adopted a strategy to align our financing portfolios based on two main priorities: ➡️ manage the reduction in our absolute carbon footprint from fossil fuels ➡️ and define a plan to lower the carbon intensity of our financing portfolios in other sectors 2023 was the start of a major new drive to accelerate this alignment 👇 💡 Want to know more about our commitments?

After a look at the Group's eco-responsible initiatives in the areas of water and waste management, this week we take a look at some examples of circular economy initiatives relating to the recycling of our office furniture. ♻️Promoting virtuous solutions from the circular economy in our buildings in France and abroad is the approach that we are taking on a daily basis, with a number of initiatives: - recycling furniture and reusing materials (carpets, movable partitions, etc.) - reselling unused furniture to employees at preferential rates (1,400 items, i.e. 26 tonnes of furniture already resold) - installation of furniture made from kitchen units in collaboration with the Atelier Emmaüs, - donations of unused furniture to associations or public institutions, representing 4,000 items since January 2024, - reconditioning of armchairs, some parts of which are 3D printed (2,500 armchairs already renovated, generating savings of 75% compared with new).🔧 Giving priority to recyclable and recycled products also generates substantial CO2 savings, ranging from 1.2 to 150 tonnes depending on the project.
