Headline intensities

·Values in USD ($)· normalised from EUR at FY avg rate
Peer cohort: · lower is better
Revenue intensity
Carbon / $m revenue
tCO2e / $m revenue

Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.

Operational intensity
Carbon / $m OpEx
tCO2e / $m OpEx

OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.

Economic intensity
Carbon / $m EVIC
tCO2e / $m EVIC

EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?

Asset intensity
Carbon / $m PP&E + leased
tCO2e / $m PP&E

PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

Strategy & approach

Primary decarbonisation levers
  • Digital screen efficiency and selective digitisation

    JCDecaux focuses on selective roll-out of digital screens in prime locations, balancing growth with energy consumption. Digital now represents 39% of Group revenue and 41.8% of total net capex. The conversion of analogue to digital is managed selectively to control electricity use of operated street furniture, transport panels and billboards.

  • EU Green Taxonomy aligned revenue

    Nearly 50% of Group revenue is aligned with the EU Green Taxonomy, reflecting JCDecaux's business model contribution to sustainable urban infrastructure including bike sharing schemes and public transport advertising that supports modal shift.

Dependent decarbonisation levers
  • Eco-friendly mobility (self-service bike rental)

    JCDecaux is a leader in self-service bike rental schemes, positioning itself as a pioneer in eco-friendly urban mobility — supporting modal shift from cars to bikes in cities where it operates street furniture concessions.
