In addition,

  • water consumption is estimated at 431,050 m3 – i.e. 4.21 m3 per capita. Agencies rent premises in serviced buildings which include local water supplies. The main improvements concern washroom facilities (sensors) and prompt response once a water leak is detected. Water is supplied from municipal distribution systems or private operators, under long‑term contracts with the managers of the buildings. The aim is to reduce water consumption in all agencies.

Finally,

  • concerning the circular economy, for more than a decade now, agencies have been voluntarily committed to promoting documents from recycled paper, plastic, fabric and other materials for paper publications or regular and one‑time events, by working with suppliers who guarantee these recycled raw materials (see the example of Publicis Live through its Sustainability Guidelines, shared with suppliers involved in various events).
