In response to current tensions in the energy market in Europe and climate change, Vivendi will implement new measures to reduce its energy consumption from October 2022. The Group has identified a number of levers that will enable its employees to operate quickly across all of its entities located in Europe, ensuring the continuity of its operations, in the best possible conditions.

-- Temperature. All the Group's entities will reduce the heating temperature at their sites by at least 1degC in winter and increase the air-conditioning temperature by at least 1degC in summer. -- Lighting. Presence sensors will be installed, the use of LED lamps will be generalized, and the duration of lighting hours of some sites and screens will be reduced. The sign at the iconic l'Olympia in Paris will be now switched off, except on show nights when it will be lit only between 5:00 pm and 11:30 pm. -- Sites. In 2021, Vivendi launched its Sustainable Buildings program to improve energy efficiency and environmental certification for its buildings worldwide (ISO 140001, ISO 50001, etc.). The Vivendi, Havas, Prisma and Editis sites in France, as well as Havas's sites in London and Madrid, are already certified. Most recently, the new Canal+ Group headquarters at Issy-les-Moulineaux (Paris area), into which a large part of the teams has just moved, has been BREEAM and HQE certified. Audits will also be conducted at other sites to accelerate the implementation of measures to improve their energy performance.
Also, all employees of the group will once again be made aware of environmentally-responsible actions through the distribution of a guide of good personal practices, including developing the right attitudes in the use of digital technology.
The new measures adopted by Vivendi by October 2022 are part of its strong environmental commitment, Creation for the Planet, one of the three pillars of its CSR strategy.
