As the network Bilan Carbone ® is carried out at the end of the first half of year N+1, the Group’s 2017bemissions of 32,390 teq CO 2 consists of the aggregate value: P of the head office’s 2017bgreenhouse gas emissions or 21,370 teq CO 2 (breakdown in % per item).

The network’s energy item includes emissions related to the consumption of electricity and fuels and losses of refrigerants in air-conditioning equipment. It should be noted that electricity consumption represents two thirds of this item. The reduction in purchases of supplies and paper is offset by an increase in purchases of external services. Group Bilan Carbone ® The reduction in AFD Group’s total emissions is 2.9% (from 33,361 teq CO 2 to 32,390 teq CO 2 in 2017) and enables the collective impact in favour of the environment to be measured. The inventory method for human emissions of greenhouse gases enables internal means of action to be identified. AFD has committed to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by simultaneously working to reduce these emissions and offsetting them through its purchase, since 2007, of carbon credits certified according to the most stringent international standards. In 2017, a project in Brazil, which was already supported by AFD in 2016, enabled AFD’s strategy to be continued for a second year, focusing on the use of biomass and forest protection. A project in Uganda enables support for a small scale programme of access to local water with significant social co-benefits.

The greenhouse gas emissions of mainland France head offices (AFD head office, Proparco and VAL Marseille represent 21,370 teq CO 2 or 15.61 teq CO 2 per employee (excluding service providers). The margin of error for the Bilan Carbone ® is approximately 20%. The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions between 2016 (21,961 teq CO 2 ) and 2017 (21,370 teq CO 2 ) is -2.7%. It essentially involves business travel and absorbs the increase in emissions from inputs and fixed assets, which are affected by the increase in the number of employees particularly with regards to paper consumption, meals and purchases of furniture. P and the extrapolated value of the network’s greenhouse gas emissions assessed in 2016bis based on the assumption of an average of 145bteq CO 2 per office. (breakdown in % per item) or 11,020 teq CO 2 .

By extrapolating average greenhouse gas emissions of 145bteq CO 2 , in 2016, greenhouse gas emissions from our network were estimated to be 11,020 teq CO 2 . Business travel has reduced by 5bteq CO 2 This mainly involves business journeys by car and plane which have seen a notable reduction in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
