Amundi - Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2015

Limit our direct environmental impact Responsible ressource management

Energy audit and renewable energy In 2015, in accordance with regulations, Amundi conducted an energy audit of its buildings in France, thus taking a formal approach to improving its energy efficiency. In parallel, as a subsidiary of the Crédit Agricole Group, Amundi will benefit from the new contract signed with Electricité de France to be supplied 100% from certified renewable sources. Starting in 2016, the Amundi headquarters will be supplied with all-French renewable energy, mainly hydroelectric. “Certified Renewable” electricity guarantees that EDF has produced an amount of electricity from renewable sources in France equal to that used by the Crédit Agricole group. This choice will lower our greenhouse gas emissions starting in 2016 to 6g of CO 2 emitted per kWh used. RESPONSIBLE USE OF PAPER Amundi pursues a responsible paper policy whose objective is to reduce its use of paper, promote the careful use of paper and recycle used paper. With regard to office equipment: automatically configuring printers to two-sided, black and white; swipe cards for withdrawing copies; lower-weight paper and use of ream paper from sustainably managed forests (fraction of use: 99%). In regards to desktop publishing , Amundi-Tenue de Compte, the account-keeping subsidiary for employees savings plans, 5.1.2

continued to reduce its consumption by using certified paper and the lowest-weight paper technically possible, default two-sided printing, and offering statements in electronic form, which has seen a 25% acceptance rate. In regards to communications media: Printing on certified paper and putting more documents in electronic form. In 2015, 45% of meeting rooms were equipped with screens. RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF WASTE Amundi has adopted selective sorting, taken on a voluntary basis to community bins, in all of its Paris buildings and, since 2015, in Valence. Recyclable waste (paper, plastic cups and bottles, cans, printing consumables, batteries and EEEW) are handled by the CEDRE company, which hires workers with disabilities. In July of 2015, Amundi launched operation “cleaning weeks” in its Paris buildings, with the objective of sorting and getting rid of its excess paper. Five metric tons of paper were recovered by CEDRE for recycling. Late in the year selective sorting was extended to plastic bottle caps. Over a year, recycling has directly created over 150 hours of work assigned to people with disabilities, or 2.8 “beneficiary units” (BU = 1 handicapped full-time equivalent). 5.1.3

5.1.4 DEVELOPMENT OF GREEN IT The offices’ data storage servers were replaced in 2015 by a new generation of machines that use 30% less electricity for the same volume of data. The new-model applications servers acquired in 2015 use half the electricity of their predecessors for the same computing power.

As regards recycling computer equipment, Amundi uses a company of sheltered sector to process its used magnetic cartridges. There are bins for recycling used toner drums. Lastly, the recycling of obsolete hardware is done by a company with D3E certification. As part of its environmental efforts, Amundi automatically powers down PCs not in use in order to limit the heat given off by IT equipment. Every day this saves 150 kWh.
