1.4.3.1.2 Informing and training employees
The Group does not have an information and training program at the Group level for environmental
issues. However, this approach is one of the areas for development considered in the 2013/2014
review plan (See 1.4.3.1.1).
At present, employee information and training is organized locally by the sites. At end-March 2013,
there were 13 employees in charge of environmental management at the seven sites

. During the
year, three sites

also decided to train a total of seven employees in environmental protection.
In addition, five information campaigns were conducted in 2012/2013 at Ubisoft sites, raising
awareness of environmental issues among more than 550 employees.
For example, the RedLynx (Helsinki) studio conducted several email campaigns, reminding employees
to switch off their computers and lights in communal areas.
Shanghai put up posters in meeting rooms encouraging employees to save energy. Communications
are stepped up before holiday periods to encourage employees to switch off their IT equipment.
Lastly, Sofia added an environment section to the documentation given to new arrivals, in order to
make them aware of environmental issues and, specifically, the recycling process in place in the
studio.
In addition, a total of 11 e-learning modules on the theme of the environment have been implemented
in the Pune and Toronto studios.
The Montreal and Malmö (Sweden)
3
sites have set up Environment Committees to raise awareness
locally among the teams, recommend concrete actions encouraging the preservation of and respect
for the environment, and assess progress made.
In 2012/2013, the Montreal Environment Committee set up composting at the studio, encouraged
active transport by offering workshops in bicycle maintenance to its employees, and distributed plants
throughout its offices as part of Earth Day. The Committee is currently working on a sustainable
development policy for the studio which will define the actions to be implemented over the coming
years.
The Environment Committee at Massive (Malmö) set up recycling of plastic and metal (mainly cans),
replaced incandescent bulbs with energy-saving bulbs and instituted information campaigns to
encourage employees to switch off their PCs.
