Corporate social responsibility
People of Verso

Do better with less. And prove it.

Our CSR approach is built on concrete practices, dated indicators and a continuous improvement path. We publish what is measured and identify what still needs to be consolidated.

Operational indicators

Practices already in place.

These indicators describe how the agency works. We do not combine them into an artificial single score: each retains its own scope and verification method.

90% remote work

Work is organised primarily remotely to reduce commuting and meetings that do not require physical presence.

100% electric vehicles

The declared agency fleet is fully electric. Charging and manufacturing impacts remain within the footprint.

> 4 yrs for our computers

We extend equipment life to avoid premature replacement.

50% of AI usage handled locally

Local models sized to the need improve control over data and processing. Their energy impact is measured separately.

− 50% energy consumption

Reduction recorded in the agency's internal monitoring. The baseline period and absolute kWh figures will be published with the 2025 update.

Current indicators declared by management. They describe changes since the 2020 assessment but are not extrapolated into a new carbon total without verifiable physical data.

Our approach

Sobriety in the way we produce.

Our work creates content, experiences and digital tools. Our responsibility is to design the right format for the right use, without overproduction.

01 · WORK

Avoid before offsetting.

The best journey is the one that does not need to happen. When presence is necessary, we seek the most proportionate option.

  • remote work and remote meetings by default;
  • rail preferred when compatible with the assignment;
  • electric vehicles across the agency fleet.
02 · PRODUCTION

Produce what matters. Reuse what works.

Every asset is designed around its lifespan, channel and audience. Eco-design starts with the brief.

  • proportionate formats, durations and file sizes;
  • reusable templates and reasoned adaptations;
  • limited printing and certified suppliers when required.
03 · DIGITAL

Protected data, measured AI.

We combine sovereignty, security and sobriety without confusing their evidence. A local model is not automatically lower-impact.

  • AI models selected according to actual task complexity;
  • infrastructure based on a SecNumCloud-qualified offer, scope documented on request;
  • longer equipment lifecycles.
Documented starting point

42 tCO₂e in 2020. The 2025 total is being calculated.

The Greenly report dated 1 June 2021 is our historical baseline. Since then, the organisation has changed: remote work, an electric fleet, longer equipment life, partly local AI and lower energy consumption. These changes will only be converted into emissions once 2024–2025 kWh, travel and purchasing data have been consolidated.

42 tCO₂e Total footprint estimated for financial year 2020.
4.4 tCO₂e Scopes 1 and 2 estimated in the historical report.
37 tCO₂e Estimated Scope 3, mainly travel and purchases.
6.9 tCO₂e Estimated intensity per employee in the 2020 report.
2024–2025 GHG calculation in progress Current indicators are being integrated into the new period without applying a blanket reduction to the historical total of 42 tCO₂e.
  • 90% remote work
  • 100% electric vehicles
  • − 50% energy
  • > 4-year equipment life
  • 50% local AI

What we can document.

A web page is a public statement, not a certification. On request, we assemble the evidence relevant to the buyer's requirements while protecting confidential information.

Last updated: 31 July 2026. The indicators on this page will be revised after the 2024–2025 GHG assessment is completed. Electric vehicles, remote work, cloud infrastructure and local models are never presented as “zero carbon”.
