Updated 2014 data.
This indicator takes into account consumption of the following:
◆
electricity;
◆
natural gas;
◆
fuel oil; and
◆
steam.
The increase in total energy consumption recorded between 2014
and 2015 is primarily due to a change in the conversion factors used
for fuel oil.
For UMG, the significant change in the data reflects an increase in steam
consumption, which alone represents 92% of UMG’s total energy use.

UMG’s electricity consumption declined 40% between 2014 and 2015,
primarily following the closing of nine sites in Europe, the United States
and Asia. Moreover, certain UMG sites made a significant contribution
to this change through measures to control consumption which were
implemented in the context of deployment of the environmental
management systems that resulted in certifications.
The drop in electricity consumption for Canal+ Group reflects the
reduction in the headcount at certain sites in France and the initiatives
that were implemented by the group’s international entities to control
consumption.

The reduction in natural gas consumption is due primarily to the
closing of certain UMG sites in 2015, which represented 9%
of consumption in 2014.

Within Canal+ Group, consumption of fuel oil, used to supply the
generators acting as standby generators if electricity from the grid is cut,
has remained largely unchanged.
At UMG, fuel oil is used primarily to heat buildings. The marked drop
recorded between 2014 and 2015 is due to a drop in consumption of
fuel oil at one of UMG’s two sites in New York. This site is the main
contributing entity representing 90% of UMG’s total fuel oil consumption.

To calculate total energy consumption, fuel quantities are converted from liters into MWh.
