Canal+ and UMG have conducted several awareness campaigns amongst
most of their employees to encourage them to use e-mail systematically,
as opposed to regular mail (with a few exceptions).
For GVT, marketing campaigns using paper have been replaced by e-mail
campaigns, thus explaining the sharp decrease in the amount of paper
consumed.

This indicator is used to assess paper consumption specifically intended
for office use. The reduction in consumption by Canal+ Group is due
mainly to improved reporting at the subsidiaries through the collection of
real data as opposed to estimated data, as was previously done. GVT has
moreover adopted a new purchasing policy, recommending FSC certified
paper.

Data on the consumption of plastics relates to UMG’s products (CDs and
DVDs) and those of Canal+ Overseas (set-top boxes sold to customers).
Set-top boxes and other products leased to customers are not counted in
this indicator since the equipment is recycled by the business segments
concerned. The new models of set-top boxes placed on the market
include environmental criteria in the design which have made it possible
to reduce the amount of plastic used. This accounts for the reduction
in consumption at Canal+ Group. Improvements were also made in
cardboard packaging, resulting in a reduction of approximately 15% in
the amount used.
Digital development is making it possible to significantly limit the use of
raw materials in the manufacture of content production media.
