PRESS RELEASE
TF1 GROUP CLIMATE STRATEGY

       Target of 30% cut in scopes 1 & 2 and 3a carbon emissions by 2030

Confirmation of our commitment to low-carbon transition, through our content
          and support for our clients (advertisers and media buyers)

The TF1 group has been proactively engaged in reducing its carbon footprint for
several years, by cutting direct and indirect CO? emissions. Our approach has
achieved media industry recognition, as demonstrated by our inclusion in a
number of non-financial indices like the Dow Jones Sustainability Index(1).

Since 2007, we have used the "Bilan Carbone" method of carbon accounting. The
results are published in our non-financial report (now known as the
"non-financial performance statement"), which forms part of our Universal
Registration Document and has been verified by an independent third party since
2012.

In 2019, the carbon accounting results published by TF1(2) showed a total of
315,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, of which 75% was related to programme buying.
As a media company, our level of direct emissions remains low, but we are
looking to enhance our contribution to low-carbon transition through our
content and support for our advertisers.

Our climate strategy is built around three key themes:

* Reducing the carbon impact of our operations , with a target of a 30% cut in
scopes 1 & 2 and 3a(3) by 2030, relative to our 2019 carbon emissions. This
target is based on 4 key priorities associated with the highest-emission areas
of our operations: eco-production of programmes, responsible purchasing,
responsible digital, and sustainable transport.

(1) Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI 2020), Media & Entertainment category.
The DJSI is a benchmark index that rates corporate ESG performance.
(2) Scope of the "Bilan Carbone" emissions data published in section 4.3.1 of
our Universal Registration Document, accessible on https://groupe-tf1.fr/en.
The targets stated here apply to the same scope.
(3) Scope 1 & scope 2: direct and indirect energy emissions. Scope 3: other
indirect emissions (e.g. purchasing).

* Supporting our clients in promoting more environmentally  friendly  products.
Our in-house advertising airtime sales teams at TF1 and Unify are becoming ever
more proactive in offering clients innovative, tailored solutions to help them
migrate towards sustainable advertising, and in showcasing environmentally
friendly products. To achieve this, they can tap into a powerful media
ecosystem featuring five free-to-air channels and engaged online communities
across a range of websites.

* Contributing to low-carbon transition through our content. We intend to
ratchet up our role in raising public awareness of environmental issues. An
all-new Saturday morning show, "Génération Ushuaïa", will launch on 16
January 2021, and we are also broadening the reach of our Ushuaïa brand. Those
initiatives will build on the already substantial content featured in our
online verticals; in our news, magazine, documentary, drama and entertainment
programming; and on our special-interest Ushuaïa TV channel, which has
promoted environmental protection for the last 15 years.

These targets reflect our strong commitment to continuing to combat climate
change, in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement(4).

We will publish our progress against these targets annually, as part of the
non-financial performance statement included in our Universal Registration
Document.

(4) The Paris Agreement aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of
climate change, including by holding the increase in the global average
temperature by 2100 to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing
efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial
levels.
