Key achievements

Analysis of the residual environmental p impact of the Group’s purchases (not included previously in Scopes 1, 2 and 3) On the basis of data for France (which • represents 43.8% of Group data), a limited assurance approach was applied to scale up this data proportionally, arriving at an estimate for the total GHG emissions linked to the Group’s purchases of 221,311 tCO 2 e using the ADEME method. Our aim is to extend this limited assurance approach to the whole of the Group by 2025. Continuation and adaptation of the EcoVadis supplier assessment programme (Section 3.4., “Responsible purchasing”, page 117). Development of an indicator to identify • the main suppliers accounting for at least 70% of supply chain emissions in France and having committed to a GHG emission reduction target.
