RESPONSIBLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Responsible building management
Responsible building management is primarily a concern in France.
Amundi’s corporate headquarters, Agoram 91, were renovated in
2013 to comply with environmental standards, earning Amundi BBC
(2)
Effinergie certification as well as HQE Renovation
(3)
and BREEAM
(4)
certifications.
In 2015, Agoram 91 earned the “HQE™ Exploitation” environmental
certification. The HQE certification was renewed in early 2016. Our
objective is to maintain the HQE Exploitation certification levels for
Agoram 91 in 2017.
Amundi Tenue de Comptes, a subsidiary in Valence (Drôme), moved
into a new building complying with environmental standards in
2010: limited impact on the outside environment and healthy and
comfortable interior environment.
Energy audit and renewable energy
Following an energy audit of its buildings, performed in 2015, Amundi
took a formal approach to improving its energy efficiency. An energy
use improvement plan was implemented. Among the steps decided
upon: the reduction of programme settings +/-2°C, the reduction of
centralised air conditioning operating periods, the continuation of
the policy of replacing lighting with LED lighting, the replacement of
window contacts to cut fan units when open and the standardisation
of temperature settings in IT premises to 25°C.
Since 1 January 2016, our buildings are supplied with 100%
renewable electricity, primarily of hydraulic origin.
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 double-sided, black and white; swipe cards for withdrawing
copies; lower-weight paper and use of certified paper. A 10% drop
in office paper consumption was recorded in 2016.
With regard to desktop publishing
, Amundi Tenue de Comptes,
the account-keeping subsidiary for employee savings schemes,
continued to reduce its paper consumption and launched an
“Objective zero paper for 2017” programme:
p
24/7 access to all its statements online;
p
online archiving of all its statements and transaction notices;
p
online transmission of supporting documentation (funds release,
bank and account details);
p
online execution of all transactions (payments, allocation of profit-
sharing and incentives, modifications to investment choices,
redemption requests).
Amundi Tenue de Comptes registered an increase in the subscription
rate to its e-services from 40% to 57% in 2016 and decreased its
paper consumption by 25% over the course of the year.
With regard to communications media:
Printing on certified paper,
selection of printing companies certified Imprim’Vert and making more
documents available in electronic form.
In 2016, Amundi renewed the “Cleaning Week” operation in its Paris
buildings with the objective of sorting and removing superfluous
paper; 4.5 tonnes of paper were recovered for recycling.
Over a one-year period, recycling efforts generate over 150 hours of
work allocated to disabled individuals,
i.e.
2.8 UB (disabled employee
equivalent).
Responsible management of waste
Amundi has adopted voluntary selective sorting, in collective bins, in
all its buildings in France. Recyclable waste (paper, plastic cups and
bottles, cans, printing consumables, batteries and W3E) are handled
by the CEDRE company, which hires workers with disabilities.

Limit our direct environmental impact
Amundi’s operations do not have a major direct environmental impact. Nevertheless, in order to apply the principles of corporate social
responsibility to its operations, the Company has undertaken to reduce its direct impact on the environment by limiting its C0

emissions through
active management of its energy consumption and business travel. Amundi is also taking environmental action to encourage environmentally
responsible use of paper and IT equipment
