  • Scope 2 emissions: Approximately 425,000 kg CO2e from purchased electricity.
  • Scope 3 emissions data were not disclosed for this year.
• 2021:
  • Scope 1 emissions: Approximately 542,000 kg CO2e (comprising 108,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion, 55,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions, and 379,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion).
  • Scope 2 emissions: Approximately 463,000 kg CO2e on a location-based approach and 36,000 kg CO2e on a market-based approach from purchased electricity.
  • Scope 3 emissions: A significant portion of Scope 3 emissions were reported, with purchased goods and services accounting for approximately 50,619,000 kg CO2e and downstream transportation and distribution at approximately 62,087,000 kg CO2e. Other reported Scope 3 categories include capital goods (1,241,000 kg CO2e), business travel (593,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (1,414,000 kg CO2e), waste generated in operations (361,000 kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (277,000 kg CO2e).

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Groupe M6 has committed to ambitious emission reductions, aligning its targets with a 1.5°C warming pathway through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

• Near-Term Targets (by 2030, from a 2023 base year):
  • A reduction of 42.0% in absolute Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
  • A reduction of 42.0% in absolute Scope 2 GHG emissions.
  • A reduction of 25.0% in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions, covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, and franchises.
  • Furthermore, Groupe M6 aims for 31.04% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, to have science-based targets by 2030.

These targets indicate Groupe M6's proactive approach to mitigating its environmental impact and contributing to global climate goals.
