A comprehensive Group assessment covering
Scopes 1, 2, and 3
3.9 tCO2 per employee in 2022, a reduction of
7% compared with 2021
Carbon footprint half the sector median
Regulatory News:
Xilam Animation (Paris:XIL), academy Award®-nominated
French animation studio, has announced the results of its first
carbon footprint assessment, for the year 2022. The initiative
underscores the Group's determination to actively protect the
environment and embodies its commitment to corporate social
responsibility.
This first carbon footprint strengthens the climate strategy of
the Xilam Group, which has identified new levers to actively reduce
its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and has taken effective steps to
mitigate its environmental impact. In 2023, as part of this
sustainable development strategy, the Group committed to a
responsible purchasing policy, invested in more environmentally
friendly technologies, improved its production processes, reduced
and streamlined its data and storage volume, extended the life of
its equipment, and implemented awareness initiatives among its
teams. Xilam now intends to build on this momentum to pursue a
significant near-term reduction in its carbon footprint.
This approach underpins Xilam's complete commitment to the
environmental transition, reflecting a desire to preserve the
planet for future generations, promote the well-being of its
employees, and make a positive contribution to society. Each of
these issues is an essential pillar of the Group’s long-term
success.
Marc du Pontavice, Chairman & CEO of Xilam:
“Xilam set out to conduct a comprehensive assessment of its carbon
footprint to identify ways to spur action and take a very proactive
stance on the matter. The results prove that the company is already
very 'green' compared to the audiovisual services sector. However,
they also show that it still has significant room for manoeuvre to
continue reducing its footprint. This is an important step for the
Group in terms of its social and environmental responsibility.”
3.9 tCO2 per employee in 2022, a reduction of 7% compared
with 2021, and half the sector median
The Group's carbon footprint for 2022 encompasses all of its
business operations and covers Scopes 1, 2, and 31, in accordance
with the GHG Protocol methodology. Xilam compiled the assessment by
painstakingly collecting and categorising fifteen thousand pieces
of monetary and physical data, backed by an environmental impact
survey conducted among employees, to provide a complete and
accurate picture of the Group's carbon footprint.
For the year 2022, the Group's GHG emissions totalled
1,673 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e), or 3.9 tCO2
per employee, a reduction of 7% compared with 2021. This
reduction largely stems from a 7% decrease in service purchasing
and a 12% reduction in travel.
According to Greenly, the service provider with whom
Xilam conducted its carbon footprint assessment, the Group's
carbon footprint per employee is half (-49%) the
median for referenced companies in the cultural and creative
industries: 3.93 tCO2e per employee at Xilam versus 8.02 tCO2e
per employee for the sector median. This trend is borne out by
the carbon footprint reports published by other players in the
sector, including video game developers, audiovisual production and
distribution companies, and broadcasters.

- Service Purchasing is by far the
highest source of GHG emissions: this alone represents 40% of
the Group's GHG emissions. Within this category, animation
outsourcing studios account for 61% of emissions,
followed by Intellectual Services and Sound Recordings.
- Energy represents 13% of
total emissions, with 85% coming from electricity and 13% from the
heating network.
- Food & Beverage represents
12% of total emissions, with more than 91% related to
employee meals.
- Digital (excl. PP&E and
service purchasing) represents 11% of total emissions;
more than 82% of these emissions are related to Web
Services, SaaS, licences and cloud servers. However, when the
Digital category is grouped with digital capital assets
and IT purchasing, the resulting category represents 16% of
the Group's carbon footprint, making it the second-largest
source of emissions.
