Within the Group, the activities of the telecommunications operators
contribute significantly to the total consumption of energy. These
operators conduct regular assessments of their sites and make every effort
to improve control of their waste management.
✱ SFR conducts environmental analyses and energy audits at all of
its certified sites (1), as part of its ISO 14001 certified environmental
management system. For many years, light sites have been regularly
audited, and, during 2012, additional monitoring was specifically
conducted on those in the southern operational divisions. Energy
audits conducted on SFR’s strategic sites include, in particular, the
measurement and mapping of operating room temperatures, the
characteristics of air circulation, the power of the installed servers
and cooling production units, the urbanization of operating rooms and
their energy efficiency and the energy performance of the datacenters
(Power Usage Effectiveness – PUE);
✱ In March 2012, Maroc Telecom conducted a waste management
process audit at the corporate headquarters and at the head offices
of eight regional divisions. A procedure is also being implemented to
specify the evacuation and processing method by type of waste; and
✱ Two GVT sites have also had energy assessments for their office and
call center activities.

The environmental certifications for the sites of various Group entities
have been renewed for several years. In June 2012, the registration of
the European EMAS certification was renewed at Vivendi’s corporate
headquarters in Paris, three years after its initial certification by the French
Ministry for the Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy (please
refer to Section 4.1.1. of this chapter).
✱ In 2012, for the seventh consecutive year, SFR obtained the ISO 14001
certification of its Environmental Management System (EMS) despite
the fact that the scope of the activities covered was slightly reduced.
This EMS remains the structural and federative element, allowing
the coordination of the company’s environmental management in
a precise and efficient manner to meet the principal environmental
objectives of SFR, while also increasing the participation of its
employees. The ISO 14001 certification covers various activities,
such as deployment, maintenance, operation and hosting, at each
of three categories of sites:
– the certification of light sites related to the deployment
and maintenance of relay antennas in metropolitan France
and on the Reunion Island;
– with regards to the strategic sites, the operations and maintenance
of the entire mobile network were certified, as were the operations,
maintenance and hosting of client data at 16 fixed network sites.
The mixed site activities at the Port of Reunion Island were also
integrated within the scope of this certification. 79% of the total
strategic sites of the mobile and fixed network were certified; and
(1) SFR distinguishes between three categories of sites: “light” sites are generally relay antennas and “points of presence” (POP) which are traffic collection points; “strategic” sites
are net centers and “mobile switch centers” (MSC); and “tertiary” sites include the corporate headquarters, retail sales outlets and miscellaneous office premises.
The environmental section of Vivendi’s Reporting Protocol, a benchmark
in CSR reporting for the Group’s entities, was fully revised and the
improved definitions of each indicator allow for a better harmonization
of measurements.
