EVOLUTIONOFTHE ENERGYCONSUMPTION (IN GJ)

Worldlinemain challenge: energy consumption [GRI 302-1] [GRO 302-3] [GRI 305-4] and [GRI 305-5]

Using a renewable power supplywherever possible Every year, Worldline reviews its supply contracts to identify sites and countries likely to switch to low-carbon energy. Several countries now meet part of their energy requirement using carbon-free energy, following the Atos group’s program, which aims to gradually and when possible migrate from carbon-based electricity to low-carbon electricity. These steps taken by the procurement teams in coordination with the central teams reflect the commitment and day-to-day efforts made by employees to reduce Worldline’s carbon footprint. At Worldline Belgium, the Procurement department has been renewing for 2017 the green electricity contract (in force since 2009) providing 100% of Worldline Belgium's energy requirement. The contract with Electrabel/GDF is based on the hydro-electricity produced by GDF in France (AlpEnergy). In mid-2015, Worldline Belgium commissioned a new solar panel system for the roof of the data center and the car park. All of the photovoltaic electricity generated is used on site and corresponds to half of the consumption of one of Worldline campus buildings. With this investment (500 solar panels), Worldline’s environmental commitments are visible and tangible, not only for site employees but also for all local stakeholders, including visitors, suppliers and customers. Similarly, Worldline Italy also has implemented a solar panel on the rooftop of its offices. In 2017, Worldline France signed a contract with EDF electricity supplier to ensure all energy used for its data centers comes from renewable sources. Therefore, the Company is currently using renewable energy in its sites in Belgium, Germany, Italy, as well as in the equensWorldline co-located data centers (NLDC and Equinix) and French data centers. In 2017, energy consumption totaled 281,972 GJ [GRI 302-1], with an intensity by revenue of 225 GJ/€ million and 37.13 GJ/employee [GRI 302-3]. In the meanwhile, the renewable energy consumption increases from 19,792 GJ in 2016 to 49,367 GJ in 2017 [GRI 302-1].

Environmental friendly offices

The Real Estate Logistic and Housing Policy promotes the energy efficiency criteria such as smart design, low energy building techniques, highly energy efficient appliances and public transportation availability for the selection of new locations and for the extension and rationalization projects. In addition, the Smart Campus concept includes innovative ways of working such as open spaces, desk sharing and digital tools that positively contribute to the environmental footprint of the offices. All company environmental commitments and actions related to offices are structured in four dimensions: Energy efficiency; ● Waste management; ● Water savings; ● Biodiversity. ●
