Our CSR commitments are in line with France’s national low-carbon strategy (Stratégie Nationale Bas-Carbone, SNBC) – the country’s roadmap for combating climate change, introduced by the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act (Loi de Transition Energétique pour la Croissance Verte, LTECV).

More broadly, the digital sector is confronted with environmental issues such as energy consumption, waste management, and CO2 emissions, as illustrated by these figures from ADEME:
10% of French electricity consumption is linked to digital services;
10 to 12 billion e-mails are exchanged in 1 hour worldwide (excluding spam), and the number is constantly growing;
Every digital use, no matter how small, generates cumulative CO2 emissions. For example:
Our CSR commitments aim to provide concrete solutions to the challenges of sustainable development and, in the longer term, to meet the digital and environmental challenges facing our society. Our CSR program is structured around 5 themes. Actions 2, 3, 4, and 5 are already underway, with measured results. The aim is to strive for continuous improvement in our CSR performance within the framework of a precise program defined for the 2020-2025 period.
