Work is organised primarily remotely to reduce commuting and meetings that do not require physical presence.
Corporate social responsibility
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.
Declared position as of 3 August 2026 · Updated annually
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.
Vehicles owned or leased by the agency are declared fully electric. Other travel, charging and manufacturing impacts remain within the footprint.
Target service life for the main fleet, avoiding premature replacement of equipment that remains fit for purpose.
Estimated operational share of workloads suitable for local models. Quality, security and energy impact are assessed separately.
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.
Network certification framework
Progress made by the pilot becomes a network requirement.
People of Verso pilots practices, measures results and updates the framework. Each validated improvement is passed on to affiliates and franchisees in the next version, together with its method, evidence and transition period.
The network pilot.
The five published indicators describe the original agency. They are a reference level and practical experience, not a transferable certification.
- 90% declared remote work;
- 100% electric agency fleet;
- > 4 years target service life for computers;
- ≈ 50% of AI usage handled locally;
- − 50% declared energy use, pending consolidated kWh.
Measure. Audit. Renew.
Candidate
Within 90 days: inventory equipment, vehicles, travel, energy and AI usage, and appoint an evidence owner.
Initial audit
Reach at least 80% remote work for compatible activities, a 100% electric owned or leased fleet or no fleet, an IT service life of at least 4 years, and at least 50% of eligible AI workloads handled locally.
Certified 12 months
Status is granted after a competent independent third party checks the mandatory criteria and supporting evidence, then renewed annually.
Progress passed on
An improvement demonstrated at People of Verso enters the next annual version. Each entity adopts it within the transition period specified for the new criterion.
Certification rule: no entity may use the certification status or mark before independent third-party verification. People of Verso's “− 50% energy” remains agency-specific until its kWh baseline and method are validated; only then can it become a network requirement.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- 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.
