 ESRS E2  POLLUTION – non-material

ESRS E2 - Pollution: with regard to the double materiality analysis and the type of intellectual services offered to the Groupe’s clients, pollution issues did not appear to be material. This does not exempt the Company from measuring its waste and its type or from improving waste sorting (see Section 4.2.9). Since 2009, the Company has been measuring the volume of its waste and e-waste every year in order to reduce it and promote efficient recycling. The Groupe surveys its suppliers on this matter as part of their CSR assessments. In addition, the Groupe annually monitors the commitments of its major clients in terms of the environment, in particular their climate trajectory and the reduction of their impacts.

 ESRS E3  WATER AND MARINE RESOURCES – non-material

Water and marine resources: the double materiality analysis does not show this topic as material, which is consistent with the Company’s intellectual services activities. However, the management of water and the monitoring of its consumption has been integrated into the Groupe’s environmental policy since 2009. [E3-1-11] The central objective set in the policy is to reduce consumption. The quantities of water consumed in offices around the world have been traced since 2009 and managers of the buildings where the Groupe’s offices are located are asked to prevent any leaks and losses of resources. [E3-1-12 (a)] The Groupe also asks its suppliers about the impacts on their management of water resources, in particular consumer activities such as data centers and the cloud.

Water consumption is estimated at 399,941 m3i.e. 3.69 m3 per capita. [E3-4-28 (a)] Agencies rent premises in serviced buildings, which include local water supplies. This is standard sanitary quality water. The treatment of water after use is also similar to the procedures used for residents. The main improvements for the agencies are efficiency-based; for example, for sanitary facilities, the installation of sensors reducing the volumes of water dispersed, and rapid intervention as soon as the slightest 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.
