Vivendi’s head office wins EMAS certification

Vivendi’s head office has been awarded EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) certification by the Ministry of Ecology, Energy and Sustainable Development for its environmental initiative. Vivendi is one of the few French companies to have received this distinction.

This European certification is one of the most demanding benchmarks in terms of environmental management and commitment to stake holders. It is recognition of the voluntary and rigorous initiative carried out by Vivendi as part of its policy of sustainable development.

This certification is also the result of the involvement of numerous employees from the various business departments at head office.

You will find more complete information about this certification and Vivendi’s environmental declaration on the company’s website under the heading Sustainable Development.
