DEVELOPMENT REPORT <strong>2006</strong><br />
A new format for the <strong>report</strong><br />
Within the context of its “corporate environmental responsibility”<br />
action plan, the <strong>Dexia</strong> Group has undertaken to reduce<br />
the global consumption of paper per Group member of staff<br />
by 2010 <strong>com</strong>pared to their consumption in <strong>2006</strong>.<br />
For its <strong>2006</strong> <strong>report</strong>, <strong>Dexia</strong> has chosen to limit paper copies and<br />

The fight against climate change at the heart of<br />
the <strong>Dexia</strong> Group sustainable development strategy<br />
To ensure that its direct environmental impacts are managed<br />
responsibly, the <strong>Dexia</strong> Group has set the fight against climate<br />
change at the heart of its sustainable development strategy.<br />
An original strategy of carbon neutrality<br />
In 2007 the <strong>Dexia</strong> Group will follow a carbon neutral<br />
policy <strong>com</strong>bining the reduction and offsetting of its CO 2<br />
emissions.<br />
• The Group strategy is aimed at neutralizing the majority<br />
of its <strong>2006</strong> emissions associated with energy consumption<br />
and professional journeys undertaken by members of<br />
staff, or approximately 35,000 tons of CO 2<br />
.<br />
• This revolves around two projects linked to <strong>Dexia</strong> activity<br />
in the two countries in which it is historically established,<br />
namely France and Belgium.<br />
– Reduction of CO 2<br />
emissions: investment in a renewable<br />
energy project and the acquisition of green electricity.<br />
– Offsetting the non-reducible emissions quota.<br />

projects retained: www.dexia.<strong>com</strong>.<br />
