COMMITTED
TO SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
During fiscal year 2014, Euro Disney S.C.A. maintained its efforts
to limit its environmental footprint while establishing new environmental
goals to be reached by 2020. The Group’s approach is based
on increasing the efficiency of its resources and its awareness-building
actions targeting both employees and guests.
NEW ENVIRONMENT GOALS
As part of its ongoing efforts, Disneyland ®
Paris has developed its environmentalprotection
approach around four key
pillars: water, energy, waste and biodiversity.
2014 marked the launch of a
new program with a series of objectives
that should be accomplished by 2020.
In terms of waste management, the Euro
Disney S.C.A. group aims for a recyclereuse-compost
rate of 60% for operational
waste and 75% for construction waste.
In 2014 the resort reduced the quantity of
incinerated waste by 8% over the previous
fiscal year. This can be explained by the
increase in waste treated in other ways.
Since 2006, the Group has committed
to acquiring 15% of its electricity from
renewable sources. It has also implemented
a series of measures to optimize
electricity use (low-energy bulbs, intelligent
thermostats, movement detectors, etc.).
The new Ratatouille-inspired attraction and
its restaurant, for example, are equipped
with energy-efficient LED lighting. Solar
panels have also been installed to heat the
water used in the kitchens and elsewhere.
BUILDING AWARENESS
TO CHANGE BEHAVIOR
Environmental protection is also a
question of behavior. For this reason, the
Group undertakes activities to raise the
awareness and involvement of its Cast
Members and guests. The objective is to
convince them to adopt eco-responsible
behavior when on site. During fiscal year
2014, as in previous years, the Group has
rewarded its employees’ waste management
and energy-saving efforts during the
Cérémonie des Trophées Environnement.
Awareness-raising events also took
place during Earth Month. The Group
also maintained its efforts to encourage
Cast Members to carpool and use public
transportation (refunding 80% of transport
costs instead of the 50% required
by legislation). The Group also continues
to strengthen its fleet of electric-powered
vehicles.
