    Our priority: taking action for a carbon neutral world.

    The fight against climate change and the protection of the environment are a major focus of the Group’s responsible approach. We are aiming for environmental operational excellence.

    • Logo Vivendi - Creation for the Planet

    Our commitments

    • Reducing the carbon footprint

      of our activities in line with the Paris Agreement

    • Compensating residual emissions

      from 2025 onwards

    • Increasing public awareness of the climate emergency

      through committed content

      Committing to a carbon neutral world

      Vivendi is committed to fighting climate change and to reaching net zero by following an action plan to avoid, reduce and compensate its emissions.

      Even though our activities generate less environmental damage – at the end of December 2019, Vivendi accounted for less than 0.02% of the total greenhouse gas emissions of companies in the CAC 40 index – we recognize the role of companies to be important and want to actively act.

      To achieve this objective, we are committed to developing the use of sustainable and carbon-free energy, integrating eco-design principles into the development of our products and content, promoting initiatives in favor of the circular economy and raising awareness among employees and suppliers to encourage them in their efforts. Each business unit applies the Group’s action plan at its own level as the impact and challenges faced by our different businesses and product lines are not the same.

      In 2020, we took our commitment one step further by joining the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi) which provides companies with science-backed recommendations for reducing their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This commitment is accompanied by the implementation of an ambitious environmental roadmap to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.

      In addition, in order to be transparent about our environmental commitments, we now refer to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) criteria and comply with its recommendations.

      • Climate Pledge
      In 2019, Vivendi became one of some 100 companies that signed the French Business Climate Pledge, which affirms the need to collectively change course in order to achieve a drastic reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions

      Increasing public awareness of the climate emergency

      For our Group, the fight against climate change also involves leveraging our power of influence to raise awareness about the climate emergency by creating and distributing impact-driven content.

      Through our advertising campaigns, TV series, documentaries, books, magazines and educational material, we can alert, raise awareness and help shift behavior towards a more environmentally-friendly way of life.

      The 2019 Care Awards Grand Prix went to HOST / Havas for the Palau Pledge campaign

        Some initiatives:

        • We have established the global “Sustainable Buildings” environmental internal program which aims to increase the number of Vivendi buildings covered by environmental certifications. Havas Village (France) recently secured its ISO 14001 certification, thus joining the Vivendi and Canal+ headquarters (France), as well as Havas in London and Madrid.
        • We favor the purchase of FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) or PEFC (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) labelled paper as part of our procurement strategy. These independent certification systems guarantee the responsible and sustainable management of forests. Editis is the first French publisher to obtain FSC® certification.
        • Canal+ group is a member of Ecoprod, an association which is committed to promoting environmentally friendly audiovisual and film productions. Since 2019, four Original Creation series L’Effondrement, Baron Noir, Ovni(s) and Neufs Meufs were filmed using an eco-production approach.
        • Havas Group (Havas Paris, Havas Events and BETC) has created the Solidarité Climat (Climate solidarity) scheme, a mechanism that offers clients the possibility to compensate their campaigns’ CO2 emissions.
