Our Commitment to Sustainable Technology 

Particularly on environmental issues, VISEO strives for sustainable technology through key initiatives: 

• Raising Climate Awareness : We engage our employees with collective intelligence workshops (such as the Climate Fresk and Digital Fresk), practical guides, and MOOCs to collectively tackle climate challenges. 
• Reducing Environmental Impact : We annually measure our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and implement action plans to reduce our environmental footprint. 
• Promoting Sustainable Technology : We advocate for collective action on sustainable digital practices, believing in the strength of collective efforts to address environmental issues. 

What is a Carbon Footprint? 

A carbon footprint is a diagnostic tool that measures all greenhouse gas emissions, both direct and indirect (known as scopes 1, 2, and 3), produced by an organization (such as a company, individual, or community) over a given period. These emissions are categorized into three scopes: 

• Scopes 1 and 2 : Emissions that are controlled or owned by the company. 
• Scope 3 : Indirect emissions that are neither controlled nor owned by the company. 

​

GHG emissions are calculated by multiplying activity data by the corresponding emission factor (e.g., emissions related to electricity consumption are calculated as consumption in kWh × emission factor in kgCO2e/kWh). 

VISEO’s Latest Carbon Footprint Results 

VISEO’s latest carbon footprint report, conducted in 2023 for the year 2022, covers France, Spain, and Morocco. The report shows a total carbon footprint of 8435 tCO2eq, which equals 3.8 tCO2eq per employee. The breakdown of emissions is as follows: 

• Scope 1: 180 tCO2eq 
• Scope 2: 180 tCO2eq 
• Scope 3 : 8075 tCO2eq 

​

The main sources of emissions are related to the purchase of goods and services (68.5% of the total) and commuting, business travel, and fuel (16%). 

Evolution of Calculation Methods and Progress 

Since our first carbon footprint report in 2019, calculation methods have evolved, making overall comparisons imprecise. However, significant advancements include: 

• Expanded Geographic Scope : From France in 2019 to France, Spain, and Morocco in 2021 and 2022. 
• Increased Use of Raw Data. 
• Expanded Scope 3 : Including more detailed data on our value chain. 

GHG Emission Reduction Targets 

This carbon footprint report serves as a baseline for developing a decarbonization strategy. VISEO has set a target to reduce scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 42% in intensity per employee by 2030, using 2021 as the reference year and  drawing on the SBTi calculation methodology (1.5° scenario). Preliminary results from 2022 show a 14% reduction in carbon emissions per FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) between 2021 and 2022, despite a 9% increase in staff. 

Although we have not yet set a quantitative target for scope 3, VISEO is implementing action plans to reduce overall emissions. For more details on our initiatives and action plans, please refer to our [Carbon Footprint Presentation]. 

VISEO remains committed to pursuing its efforts for a sustainable future and invites all stakeholders to join us in this essential journey for our planet.
