For all that, AFD’s mobility plan specifies areas of marginal improvement and efforts must focus on business travel as set out in the 2018-2020 SR plan.

Nonetheless, in order to take better account of the emissions related to business travel, AFD has implemented solutions that replace travel such as video conferencing (approximately 1,900 in 2017) and telecommuting.

2.2.2 Sustainable use of resources 2.2.2.1 Commodities consumption and measures taken to improve efficiency Inputs represent 27% of the head office carbon footprint. Particular attention is focused on incorporating environmental due diligence in purchasing. As a result, all of the fabrics chosen for the hospitality areas of the new Vivacity site are in natural 100% wool materials. These fabrics have received the EU Ecolabel, contain no azo dyes, no chlorinated substances, no dyes containing heavy metals, or PVC. Desk chairs received the “best of the best” prize in the Red Dot Design Awards both for their comfort and their simplicity of manufacture/ recycling in environmental terms.

(1)Consumption of blank paper, paper supplies and printing paper (publications). Nevertheless, AFD has implemented a number of measures aimed at reducing paper consumption. The choice of paper from sustainable sources (mainly FSC) has helped to reduce the environmental impact. Rolling out the green copy project across all sites in mainland France has helped us intelligently manage paper consumption by ensuring printers are configured to print double-sided and in black-and-white by default. The internal reprographics service enables printing to be kept in line with actual needs and overconsumption to be avoided. Going paperless is the long-term solution to reducing paper consumption: wages, administrative forms and the ROME project (1) are examples of this.

2.2.2.2. Energy consumption and measures taken to improve energy efficiency and renewable energy use In order to improve its energy efficiency, AFD regularly renovates its property both in France and abroad (hygro-thermal measures: thermal insulation, ventilation system, etc.). The Group has adopted a policy for managing its assets that will allow it to acquire several properties and will make it easier to manage energy consumption in these buildings and their facilities with equipment that uses renewable energy.
