To address environmental issues related to its operations, actions to raise awareness and promote initiatives are showcased through a dedicated intranet space, internal news articles and statements, exhibitions, conferences, and by organising events on important international dates (Sustainable Development Week, European Week for Waste Reduction and Mobility Week). 2.2.1.2 Resources dedicated to the prevention of environmental risk and pollution AFD does not incur any environmental or pollution risk due to its banking activity. 2.2.1.3 Provisions and guarantees for environmental risks, except where this information may be seriously detrimental to the company in an ongoing legal dispute For the reasons stated in the paragraph above, AFD has no provisions or guarantees for environmental risks. 2.2.1.4 Carbon footprint assessment of AFD’s structure Exceeding regulatory requirements, since 2006 AFD has carried out a Bilan Carbone ® , which calculates direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions, for its head office every year. This was extended in 2009bto all of its agencies and local offices. The AFD Group Bilan Carbone ® , the aggregate of head office and network greenhouse gas emissions, is based on its network of head office and international network benchmarks. The Group’s Bilan Carbone ® involves scopes 1, 2band 3bof the Ademe (French Environment and Energy Management Agency) methodology. It automatically includes all direct emissions (the carbon emissions of AFD’s employees) and a selection of indirect emission sources (carbon emissions related to electricity consumption, for heating and cooling, and from AFD’s service providers) related to the Group’s activities. To represent AFD’s operations and activities, the operational oversight approach is used. The entities included are all those entities over which AFD has the power to modify operating policies. It is an estimate of greenhouse gas emissions. The CO 2 equivalent identified is approximate. The degree of uncertainty varies depending on whether the data (on waste and freight, for example) is hypothetical or not.
