As described earlier, energy, carbon and electronic waste are the main environmental challenges for Worldline. The Company is therefore conducting specific assessments and actions in these areas of concern according to place of consumption and impact (offices, data centers, and Terminals, travels) in order to reduce its environmental footprint.

Reducing the carbon emissions is of paramount importance in limiting the impacts of the Company’s activities, but also for improving its efficiency and developing the confidence of its customers, investors and stakeholders at large. Since 2014, Worldline has closely monitored its own carbon emissions and has contributed to the Atos group’s strategy to achieve a -50% carbon reduction between 2012 and 2015 in tons of CO 2 /€ million revenue. As an example, Worldline has reduced the emissions of its data centers by 29% since 2014. For the 2017 reporting, Worldline decided to release its data on a constant scope (scope a) and data included additional countries like India, Italy and Argentina (scope b). All along this chapter, data will be released with the new scope of reporting (scope b). In 2017, Worldline GHG emissions are 11,252.8 tons CO 2 emissions worldwide [GRI 305-4] (scope b).

(b) Included: Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Argentina, Italy, India and United Kingdom- new scope To offset the impact of its carbon emissions that could not be avoided, Worldline has a carbon offset program. Since 2010, Worldline, like Atos, compensates 100% of the emissions from its data centers. Since 2016, it also includes 100% of the emissions resulting from the production of its payment Terminals. Since 2017, Worlldine also offsets 100% of the emissions from its business travels. This initiative, which provides carbon neutral footprint hosting, allows customers to declare “zero” in their carbon public reporting (Scope 3, outsourced services) for services hosted by Atos and Worldline. In terms of offsetting, the Atos group and Worldline have chosen to fund wind farm projects, enabling the development of renewable electricity in India, a region where Worldline has 6% of its employees and where renewable energies need to be developed. This project is certified according to the best internationally recognized standards such as the “verified carbon standard” and the “gold standard” in a partnership with Ecoact, a company specializing in carbon strategies. It allows generation of 160 mw of power with 200 wind turbines. Worldline has also decided to go further in its ambition to provide carbon neutral services and has decided to compensate by 2020 the CO 2 emissions from its buildings, business travel and life cycle of its Terminals (this latter objective was achieved in 2016).
