THE GROUP’S BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007-2008

Business
travel
As a result of the Group’s international scale, employees
are called on to travel on a regular basis to other internal
sites.
The Group’s policy is designed to control the environmen-
tal consequences of its employees’ travel and encourages
limiting travel to meetings as much as possible. To do this,
we encourage the following arrangements:
videoconferences or telephone conferences and other
collaborative means;
effective management of the agenda for employees so
that their travel is limited to the absolute minimum;
choosing the least costly and most environmentally con-
scious means of transportation.
In France, the travel policy put in place encourages
employees to ask the following questions:
Can I replace my travel with a telephone conference or a
videoconference?
Can I achieve my goals with less travel than initially
anticipated?
Can I group together several meetings during the same
trip?
What is the most efficient solution: should I or should my
contact person make the trip?
The environment is a key concern for the Group.
Accordingly, it has several projects in this area: establi-
shing “green” guidelines in France listing the best ways to
save energy and thus to protect the planet as well as a sys-
tem to manage car-pooling, purchase fair-trade products,
purchase recyclable products, etc.
