This indicator measures CO2 emissions caused by train and air travel
undertaken solely for business purposes. The increase in the amount of
CO2 is chiefly due to an increase in business travel in connection with
the Group strategic review.
Total CO2 emissions were 447,706 tCO2 eq, of which 73,047 tCO 2 eq
in Scope 1 and 338,692 tCO2 eq in Scope 2.
Furthermore, the greenhouse gas emissions report conducted in 2012 is
available online in the CSR section of Vivendi’s website.
4.2.5. Information Categories Deemed Irrelevant with regard to the Group’s businesses
■ ■ Measures to Prevent Environmental Risks
and Pollution
This information category was deemed irrelevant in relation to the
Group’s activities, which do not present any risk in terms of pollution.
■ ■ Financial provisions (and guarantees)
for environmental risks
This information category was deemed irrelevant with regard to the
Group’s activities: the major risks associated with the Group’s activities
are not related to environmental issues.
■ ■ Prevention, reduction or remedying of emissions
into the air, water and soil
This information category was deemed irrelevant with regard to
the Group’s activities, which do not present any risk of air, water or
soil pollution (aside from CO2 emissions, which are discussed in
Section 4.2.4 p. 94).
■ ■ Land use
This information category was deemed irrelevant as the Group’s
activities do not present any risk in terms of soil pollution.
■ ■ Adaptation to climate change
This information category was deemed irrelevant with regard to the
Group’s activities. The Group’s activities are subject to few constraints
related to climate change. The principal measures used to adapt the
technical centers and the data centers, which suffer the effects of heat,
focus on the theme of cooling by means of natural ventilation “free
cooling”, discussed in Section 4.1.2. p. 88.
■ ■ Measures taken to preserve or develop
biodiversity
Given the Group’s activities, biodiversity is not considered a major issue
for which Vivendi must make specific investments. Notwithstanding
this, the Group’s companies strive to minimize any impact related to
their work or maintenance activities carried out in protected flora or
fauna environments.
