at the two Antarès locations: recovery of heat generated by - computer equipment to heat the datacenter buildings, and to resell energy in the form of hot water to the distributor of a heating network serving the local business district, recovery of heat generated by IT equipment via free cooling (in the winter), construction in compliance with HQE (energy-efficientbuilding) standards, cold aisle/hot aisle layout, ISO 14001 certification

Caisse d’Epargne Aquitaine Poitou Charentes (CEAPC)inaugurated itsnew positive-energy headoffice in early 2017 The head office is a 11,000 m² positive-energybuilding, meaning it generates more energy than it uses. While external light provides natural lighting for 100% of the building’sworkstations,the new head office staffed by 450 employeesis equippedwith 1,200 m² of solar panels. 95% of projected heating consumption will be derivedfrom waste incineration.

Based on the carbon reviews conductedby the group, business travel and commutingare one of the highest sources of total estimatedCO 2 emissions (averaging nearly one-third). The group has defined action plans aimed at limiting and reducing emissions generated by business travel and commuting, suchas: creating and distributing a mobility plan kit for all group ● institutions, serving as a toolbox to help them prepare a mobility plan (templates for surveys, action plans, etc.). In addition to this guide, two hotline sessionswere organizedfor the HR, logisticsand CSR functions; a strict travel policy explainedin a best practicesguide on business ● travel. This guide suggests alternatives for travel by train rather than airplane for trips within France, emphasizing the financial savings as well as the lower carbon emissions to allow the companies toadjust their travel policy; a comprehensive listing of electric cars in BPCE Procurement’s ● global range for the group; furthermore, the group is also furthering its efforts to apply the total cost approach groupwide (one of the levers of the AgiR responsible procurement policy) to ensure that all economic and environmentalcriteria are taken into
