JCDecaux will launch its first certified carbon neutral product in Australia in 2022

JCDecaux is the first out-of-home media company globally to join the RE100, a worldwide organisation that advocates for a 100 percent renewable energy commitment. In Australia and New Zealand, this has made JCDecaux the first media company to commit to their entire network, including offices, to be powered by 100 percent renewable electricity by 2022.

Steve O’Connor, the CEO, JCDecaux, said: “For JCDecaux, reducing our environmental impact is a priority. In 2022 we plan to launch the first carbon-neutral out-of-home media product across our Transit network – a first for Australia. In addition, all parts of the Transit product produced by our in-house printing service GSP Print will be carbon neutral.

“We have ambitious plans to offer sustainable media solutions to our clients who want to make more responsible choices. We have bold plans for sustainable solutions, and we intend to make our other products carbon neutral in the future.”
 
‘Globally, JCDecaux has had sustainability as a core part of its business since its inception in France in 1964. In 2014 JCDecaux renewed its commitment to sustainable development through the implementation of its Sustainable Development Strategy. Priorities are across three components – environment, social and stakeholder, including reducing energy consumption, reducing environmental impacts, and strengthening employee commitment toward sustainable development.’

In Australia, JCDecaux has been a proud certified carbon neutral business since 2015 through Climate Active, an Australian Government organisation that certifies Australian businesses as carbon neutral. They are working to achieve carbon zero status in New Zealand.
