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 CO
2
emissions, which are discussed in Section 6.4
p. 50).
■
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 the AR 2013 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.
