In 2016, we added glass and plastic bottle caps to the sorting of
recyclable materials. We introduced a methanation programme in the
Company restaurant for organic waste and the sorting of recyclable
materials (cans, glass, plastic bottles). Finally, we installed a biological
treatment system for grease traps in the two buildings, resulting in
less waste and fewer lorry trips to clean the tanks and release the
grease in an external station.
Actions taken to combat food waste
As part of new legislation, a study with the non-profit
Le Chainon
Manquant
is underway with the aim of donating left-over food
that cannot be served the next day to disadvantaged people.
Implementation is expected to take place in 2017 and the estimate
is of 15 to 20 meals/day.

GREEN IT POLICY
Amundi seeks to control the environmental impact of its information
systems in several ways:
p
at the individual use level, work stations are automatically switched
off in the evening and restarted the next morning. To attain greater
savings during absences, any work station that is unused as of
10 am is switched off. Every day this saves 150 kWh. In addition,
the majority of individual printers have been removed;
p
office IT equipment (works stations, printers, microcomputers,
laptops, small equipment, etc.) are recycled with the service
provider ATF GAIA, a W3E
(2)
certified company contracted by
the Crédit Agricole Group. Equipment components that are not
re-used for resale are systematically sent to a certified partner.
Amundi also recycles its used magnetic cartridges. There are bins
for recycling used toner drums. Two recycling operations by ATF
GAIA of 262 kg in May 2016 and 475 kg in October 2016 in Paris;
p
the selection of central infrastructure components is influenced
by their electric consumption and heat dissipation characteristics.
Accordingly, our overall electric consumption has not increased
since 2012, whereas the processing power delivered has gone
up significantly. Within Amundi, all IT equipment intended for
users (screens, work stations, phones, printers) complies with
international energy efficiency standards. Recently acquired central
units are less energy-intensive than the older models.
CONTROLLING CO
2
EMISSIONS
Amundi regularly prepares a complete carbon footprint assessment
on the entirety of its scope and monitors the CO
2
emissions of two
items on an annual basis: Energy and business travel. In the same
manner, Amundi implements solutions to control and reduce its CO
2
emissions.

Our Paris buildings have been powered by green energy since
1 January 2016, which explains most of the reduction in CO
2
emissions under the Energy entry. A decline was also recorded
under the Business travel item as a result of the Company’s stricter
business travel policy.
