Amundi - Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2016

Economic, social and environmental information Acting as a community-minded, eco-aware citizen

Limit our direct environmental impact

4.3

Amundi’s operations do not have a major direct environmental impact. Nevertheless, in order to apply the principles of corporate social responsibility to its operations, the Company has undertaken to reduce its direct impact on the environment by limiting its C0 2 emissions through active management of its energy consumption and business travel. Amundi is also taking environmental action to encourage environmentally responsible use of paper and IT equipment (1) , recycle its waste and create employee awareness of the ecological actions they can take.

RESPONSIBLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

With regard to office equipment: automatically configuring printers to double-sided, black and white; swipe cards for withdrawing copies; lower-weight paper and use of certified paper. A 10% drop in office paper consumption was recorded in 2016. With regard to desktop publishing , Amundi Tenue de Comptes, the account-keeping subsidiary for employee savings schemes, continued to reduce its paper consumption and launched an “Objective zero paper for 2017” programme: p online archiving of all its statements and transaction notices; p online transmission of supporting documentation (funds release, bank and account details); p online execution of all transactions (payments, allocation of profit- sharing and incentives, modifications to investment choices, redemption requests). Amundi Tenue de Comptes registered an increase in the subscription rate to its e-services from 40% to 57% in 2016 and decreased its paper consumption by 25% over the course of the year. With regard to communications media: Printing on certified paper, selection of printing companies certified Imprim’Vert and making more documents available in electronic form. In 2016, Amundi renewed the “Cleaning Week” operation in its Paris buildings with the objective of sorting and removing superfluous paper; 4.5 tonnes of paper were recovered for recycling. Over a one-year period, recycling efforts generate over 150 hours of work allocated to disabled individuals, i.e. 2.8 UB (disabled employee equivalent). Responsible management of waste Amundi has adopted voluntary selective sorting, in collective bins, in all its buildings in France. Recyclable waste (paper, plastic cups and bottles, cans, printing consumables, batteries and W3E) are handled by the CEDRE company, which hires workers with disabilities. p 24/7 access to all its statements online;

Responsible building management Responsible building management is primarily a concern in France. Amundi’s corporate headquarters, Agoram 91, were renovated in 2013 to comply with environmental standards, earning Amundi BBC (2) Effinergie certification as well as HQE Renovation (3) and BREEAM (4) certifications. In 2015, Agoram 91 earned the “HQE™ Exploitation” environmental certification. The HQE certification was renewed in early 2016. Our objective is to maintain the HQE Exploitation certification levels for Agoram 91 in 2017. Amundi Tenue de Comptes, a subsidiary in Valence (Drôme), moved into a new building complying with environmental standards in 2010: limited impact on the outside environment and healthy and comfortable interior environment. Energy audit and renewable energy Following an energy audit of its buildings, performed in 2015, Amundi took a formal approach to improving its energy efficiency. An energy use improvement plan was implemented. Among the steps decided upon: the reduction of programme settings +/-2°C, the reduction of centralised air conditioning operating periods, the continuation of the policy of replacing lighting with LED lighting, the replacement of window contacts to cut fan units when open and the standardisation of temperature settings in IT premises to 25°C. Since 1 January 2016, our buildings are supplied with 100% renewable electricity, primarily of hydraulic origin. Responsible use of paper Amundi pursues a responsible paper policy whose objective is to reduce its use of paper, promote the careful use of paper and recycle used paper.
