Management Report
2014
32
In 2013, the number of business trips totaled 16,186, which break down as follows:
Number of trips per year and by type in 2013
18
Plane
10,765
Train
5,421
The vast majority of sites have travel policies that encourage employees to prioritize the most
environmentally-friendly methods of transport. For example, the train is the preferred method of
transport in France and the Travel Department recommends direct flights for the rest of the world.
The Group is also making the use of web conferencing widespread by systematically equipping new
work stations with webcams and microphones. Furthermore, the vast majority of sites now have rooms
equipped with video/audio-conferencing equipment.
1.4.3.4.2 Adapting to the consequences of climate change
Due to the nature of its business activities, Ubisoft is not directly affected by the consequences of
climate change.
However, the Group is sensitive to environmental issues and conducts the following actions to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, which are the main cause of climate change:
- Travel policy (see section 1.4.3.4.1).
- Replacement of air-conditioning systems using chlorodifluoromethane gas (R-22), which has a
global warming potential that is 1,810 times as powerful as CO
2
, by 2015 at the latest, in
accordance with applicable legislation. The Group still has almost 100 air-conditioning units
that use this gas.
- Reduction in energy consumption (see section1.4.3.3.3).
1.4.3.5 PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY
1.4.3.5.1 Preserving and developing biodiversity
All Ubisoft sites are located in urban areas. Consequently, none of the sites are located in or beside
protected areas or areas that are rich in biodiversity.
The Ubisoft Group indirectly contributes to protecting biodiversity by consuming recycled materials
where possible, such as paper (see section 1.4.3.3.2). Using recycled materials helps to reduce
demand for virgin materials and save the world’s reserves of natural resources.
Furthermore, the Massive studio (Malmö) supports biodiversity by making donations to organizations
working to protect wild animals in Africa.
