Improved data collection
Crédit Agricole S.A. Group has published its energy and water consumption since 2007 (regarding consumption in 2006). The published consumption figures correspond to the following scope:
• Crédit Agricole Assurances premises in France;
• Crédit Agricole CIB premises in the Paris region;
• premises and branches of Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance;
• premises in the Paris region spread across the four sites occupied by the Group and its subsidiaries, managed by Crédit Agricole Immobilier.
Unlike last year, consumption data for Emporiki Bank was not available for publication.
The floor space used for buildings corresponds to the gross leasable area (GLA) indicated in the lease.
Consolidated indicators
The indicators chosen relate to consumption:
• of electricity;
• of gas;
• of heating networks;
• of cooling networks;
• of fuel oil (used only for heating purposes, not including consumption by power generators);
• of water.
All energy consumption is reported based on the bills issued by energy suppliers.
A consistency review was carried out for the first time this year on the waste consumption of Crédit Agricole Immobilier. The data will be published in the next Registration Document.
In addition, the electricity consumption and, for the first time, water consumption of some IT centres in France are once again published. The data has been isolated from the rest of the consumption figures, given the high consumption of these centres, and to avoid distorting energy ratios.
Description of data collection
Energy and water consumption indicators are presented in the form of tables summarising consumption in 2010 by entity. The energy data for each year is expressed in kWh per m² and per year in order to facilitate comparison. Water statistics are expressed in m3 per m² and per year. Consolidated data is spread over a period of 12 months, from 1 December 2009 to 30 November 2010. Only consumption billed directly to Group entities is shown in the tables. Consumption included in rental charges is not stated separately at present. Energy consumption is also consolidated in the form of an indicator expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent, depending on the different energy sources.

Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance
The increase in consumption of Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance is due to the consolidation of the Sofinco and Finaref IT data centres, following their merger.

Crédit Agricole Assurances
The increase in electricity consumption is mainly due to the inclusion of a new computer centre site in the data collection scope.
Crédit Agricole Immobilier
Since the decision to adopt the new master plan in 2009 and the start of its implementation in late 2010, measures taken to restore or improve energy performance at certain sites have not been implemented. In addition, the more extreme weather conditions are to blame for the higher consumption of electricity and of heating and cooling networks.
