Criteo takes numerous actions aimed at reducing the energy consumption of offices, such as automatically switching lighting off at night or relying on motion sensors, using energy-efficient LED lighting, configuring all laptop’s default settings to go into sleep mode when the laptop is not used and into low battery mode (lower energy consumption) when it is not plugged in.

Our group of nearly 500 passionate volunteers leads actions during celebrations such as Earth Day, with, for instance, clean-ups held in seven cities and by collecting 159.8 kg of waste in 2022. our community also develops awareness content such as the Green Guidelines, which provide tips for our employees in adopting environmentally friendly behaviors in the office.
