emissions from electricity consumption are determined
based on emission factors supplied by the French Environment
and Energy Management Agency (ADEME), or in some cases
by local energy suppliers. Emissions from raw materials and
travel are calculated based on emission factors supplied by the
independent expert who performed the carbon audit in early
2015, using the same methodology.
♦
In terms of water consumption, information is not usually
available for sites where consumption is included in the rental
charge. As a result, comprehensive information cannot be
obtained for the reporting scope.

4.2.1.1 Dynamic growth in Ubisoft Group
headcount
Attracting, developing and retaining the fi nest talent in the industry
is one of the key factors determining Ubisoft’s success. The Group
is committed to providing the resources that its teams need in
order to progress, learn and develop their skills and expertise. This
enables the best games of the future to be created, today. With 8,993
employees in game development, Ubisoft is one of the leading fi gures
in the video game industry and every year wins numerous awards
for its teams’ creative abilities.
At the end of March 2016, Ubisoft had 10,667 employees compared
with 9,790 at the end of March 2015. In the 2015/2016 fi nancial
year, the headcount therefore increased by 877 employees, i.e. up
9%. This increase was attributable to:
♦
the need to recruit the people and skills necessary for the Group’s
growth;
♦ the integration of new entities within the Group (Lyon studio –
90 people).
The breakdown of staff by business line, employment type and
gender remains unchanged over the period.
Ubisoft brings together creative minds to develop original games in a friendly environment. Each employee has the possibility of growing
and getting ahead, surrounded by people who are passionate about their particular fi eld of work. The teams’ constant creativity is expressed
not only in the development of new games but also in the day-to-day work environment.
