Environmental Indicators
Pollution and Waste Management
In addition to improving efficiency in the supply and consumption of raw
materials, the group’s subsidiaries are working to increase the percentage
of waste recovered and to clarify with employees which waste-to-energy
process is best suited to each type of waste. In some units, waste is
recycled in partnership with job placement associations.

Electronic and electrical equipment waste rose by more than 45%
between 2014 and 2015. This significant increase is primarily due
to a substantial campaign to replace the professional electronic and
electrical equipment (e.g., PCs, bulbs and printers) within Canal+ Group.
It should be noted that initiatives to collect and recycle WEEE are not
an annual occurrence, and that these collections can be initiated after
several years, depending on the need to replace the various equipment.
As a result, the WEEE data is not linear from year to year.
At group level the percentage of professional WEEE collected for
recycling represents 84% of the total amount of waste produced.

Household WEEE includes set-top boxes and Internet terminals leased
to the end customers of Canal+. In African countries, most of the set-
top boxes are sold to households, and therefore Canal+ bares no
responsibility with respect to collection of this equipment, which explains
why collection is not recorded in this indicator.
The portion of household WEEE collected for recycling represents 87%
of total collection. The WEEE recorded by the overseas entities and
the African subsidiaries represents 52% of the household WEEE of
Canal+ Group.
For nc+ in Poland, the increase in household WEEE generated between
2014 and 2015 is a result of destocking of parts that had been kept
for use as exchange parts and which were collected for recycling. For
subsidiaries in Africa and overseas, the increase in household WEEE can
be explained by better tracking.
In certain African countries, part of the set-top boxes are reconditioned.
They are then placed back on the market, and contribute in this way to
the circular economy. This is the case in Madagascar, for example, where
Canal+ reconditions used set-top boxes and reintroduces them into the
market.
