In 2023, Publicis Groupe began an in-depth review of its own, shared and third-party cloud data centers. The aim of this work is to identify and qualify the proportion of these infrastructures aligned with the European Code of Conduct for Energy Efficiency in Data Centers, meeting the criteria set out in the format published in September 2023 (Assessment Framework for Data Centers in the Context of Activity 8.1 in the Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act). The first stage consisted, with the help of an independent external firm, of training the teams concerned and establishing a work program. This work covers the data centers directly, those leased from third parties and the cloud with external partners, and new tools like virtual studios. This approach is voluntary and is intended to provide a sufficiently precise analysis to help improve energy efficiency and reduce data center energy consumption. It must also encourage the most energy-efficient solutions among the Company’s partners, in particular so-called cloud companies. This work will continue in 2025 in order to obtain a better qualification of these activities. For 2024, as in 2023, these activities were considered, by default, as non-aligned.
In 2024, Publicis Groupe committed 20 million euros to the Mirova/Natixis Climate Fund for Nature, which will enable the Company to have carbon credits for the next 15 years at a stable price.
