Developing our business
while respecting the environment

• Send

In 2012, the Lagardère group worked with its four divisions to improve environmental reporting. This work aimed to make the reporting of CSR data more reliable, and was also an opportunity for the Group to redefine the issues it faces and its priorities.

As a result, we are focusing more than ever on preserving natural resources, including the responsible management of the paper used in books and magazines, and improving energy efficiency.

Staff motivation is gradually increasing every year across all divisions, and has become a key driver of performance and internal cohesion.
In addition, sustainable development is gradually becoming an integral component of the services offered by the Group.
For example, in the construction of the new Allianz Riviera stadium in Nice, Lagardère Unlimited Stadium Solutions (LUSS) worked closely with Nice Eco Stadium, the consortium in charge of designing, building, operating and maintaining the stadium (see Focus 6).

The environmental responsibilities commitments presented above are described in more detail in the:
