JCDecaux is also promoting vehicles of low environmental impact for its fleets, supplying employees with low-emission vehicles (electric LPG, hybrid, etc.) whenever possible.
R&D engineers make life cycle analysis for products developments, apply eco-design principles and refurbishes furniture, in line with the principles of the circular economy. As a result of these combined actions, between 2017 and 2018, JCDecaux has reduced its carbon emission by 33%.

Paul Simpson, CEO of CDP, said: “Congratulations to the companies that achieved a position on CDP’s A List this year, for leading in environmental performance and transparency. The scale of the business risks from the climate emergency, deforestation and water insecurity are vast – as are the opportunities from addressing them – and it’s clear the private sector has a vital role to play at this critical time. The A List companies are leading the market in corporate sustainability, tackling environmental risks and setting themselves up to thrive in tomorrow’s economy.” 

Jean-François Decaux, Chairman of the Executive Board and Co-CEO of JCDecaux, said: “We are very pleased to get our position on the CDP’s A List, recognising the long-term approach that we have taken to achieve development through a sustainable business model that respects the planet and its inhabitants. It’s a great recognition which will reinforce the trust of our clients who care about CDP scoring and know that it reflects a certain maturity and leadership face to climate change urgency. Sustainability, as a core element of the company's strategy, definitely enables us to anticipate future changes and represents a significant driver of growth and innovation for JCDecaux, permanently transforming us into a economic, social and environmental player ever more responsible and committed.”
