In a natural development, the company went on to improve its strategic management, working methods and ethics and compliance culture in 2018. We are all working to integrate the stakeholders into each major investment project. One example is the future terminal 4 we're looking to build at Paris-Charles Gaulle by 2037 to welcome the new passengers expected by this time. Over the next 15 years, this will be one of the most significant projects in the Île-de-France region in terms of job creation and connectivity. I'm convinced that development is not an option without a huge emphasis on controlling our impacts while maintaining our performance and boosting vitality in the region. As such, and given the environmental and territorial impacts of this project, I wanted to D.R. launch a voluntary public consultation free of any legal obligation to allow people to get informed, give their option and illuminate us as to possible project developments. Groupe ADP thus approached the STATEMENT BY AUGUSTIN National Public Hearings Commission in May 2018 DE ROMANET with a view to assigning one or more guarantors.

Behind this improvement is the commitment shown by all employees and company entities. It reflects the quality of the group's CSR strategy and action, including notable progress in its Hub One, ADP International and ADP Ingénierie subsidiaries. This aligns with the ongoing improvement process we began several years ago. Since 2015, we have been at the top of the international rankings among the five major European airport operators. According to the Sustainalytics agency, in 2018, our company exceeded the SBF 120 company average by seven points.

The level of ambition requires an acceleration of our actions. On the occasion of the One Planet Summit of December 12, 2017, we, the undersigned 89 French companies, representing an overall turnover of 1,500 billion euros and 6 million jobs worldwide, affirm the need to collectively change course, in order to bring about a drastic reduction of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We fight climate change around the world, defining actions and developing solutions, products and services that significantly reduce GHG emissions. We want to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by several billion tons, particularly in the energy, transport, industry, building and agriculture sectors. Depending on our respective situations, we have already put in place several tools: - 60 companies made commitments to reduce their emissions; - 27 have an internal CO2 price; - 42 are engaged in the Science-Based Targets initiative or are thinking about joining it; - 34 have decided or intend to implement the recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) with pragmatic methodologies. Meeting this challenge requires accelerating the injection of public and private financial resources into research and investment.

  • NTGAN: Learning Blind Image Denoising Without Clean Reference
    RUI ZHAO, DANIEL P.K. LUN, KIN-MAN LAM: NTGAN 1 NTGAN: Learning Blind Image Denoising without Clean Reference Rui Zhao Department of Electronic and [email protected] Information Engineering, Daniel P.K. Lun The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, [email protected] Hong Kong, China Kin-Man Lam [email protected] Abstract Recent studies on learning-based image denoising have achieved promising perfor- mance on various noise reduction tasks. Most of these deep denoisers are trained ei- ther under the supervision of clean references, or unsupervised on synthetic noise. The assumption with the synthetic noise leads to poor generalization when facing real pho- tographs. To address this issue, we propose a novel deep unsupervised image-denoising method by regarding the noise reduction task as a special case of the noise transference task. Learning noise transference enables the network to acquire the denoising ability by only observing the corrupted samples. The results on real-world denoising benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance on remov- ing realistic noises, making it a potential solution to practical noise reduction problems. 1 Introduction Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely studied over the past decade in various computer vision applications, including image classification [13], object detection [29], and image restoration [35]. In spite of high effectiveness, CNN models always require a large-scale dataset with reliable reference for training. However, in terms of low-level vision tasks, such as image denoising and image super-resolution, the reliable reference data is generally hard to access, which makes these tasks more challenging and difficult.

  • High-Quality Self-Supervised Deep Image Denoising
    High-Quality Self-Supervised Deep Image Denoising Samuli Laine Tero Karras Jaakko Lehtinen Timo Aila NVIDIA∗ NVIDIA NVIDIA, Aalto University NVIDIA Abstract We describe a novel method for training high-quality image denoising models based on unorganized collections of corrupted images. The training does not need access to clean reference images, or explicit pairs of corrupted images, and can thus be applied in situations where such data is unacceptably expensive or im- possible to acquire. We build on a recent technique that removes the need for reference data by employing networks with a “blind spot” in the receptive field, and significantly improve two key aspects: image quality and training efficiency. Our result quality is on par with state-of-the-art neural network denoisers in the case of i.i.d. additive Gaussian noise, and not far behind with Poisson and impulse noise. We also successfully handle cases where parameters of the noise model are variable and/or unknown in both training and evaluation data. 1 Introduction Denoising, the removal of noise from images, is a major application of deep learning. Several architectures have been proposed for general-purpose image restoration tasks, e.g., U-Nets [23], hierarchical residual networks [20], and residual dense networks [31]. Traditionally, the models are trained in a supervised fashion with corrupted images as inputs and clean images as targets, so that the network learns to remove the corruption. Lehtinen et al. [17] introduced NOISE2NOISE training, where pairs of corrupted images are used as training data. They observe that when certain statistical conditions are met, a network faced with the impossible task of mapping corrupted images to corrupted images learns, loosely speaking, to output the “average” image.

Bayer, PhD Jiahua Xu, PhD Anthony Cooper, J.D. Title: Devoir de Vigilance: Reforming Corporate Risk Engagement Date published: 9 June 2020 Funded by: iPoint-systems GmbH www.ipoint-systems.com 1 “Liberty consists of being able to do anything that does not harm another.” Article 4, Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen of 1789, France 2 Executive Summary The objective of this systematic investigation is to gain a better understanding of how the 134 confirmed in-scope corporations are complying with – and implementing – France’s progressive Devoir de Vigilance law (LOI n° 2017-399 du 27 Mars 2017).1 We ask, in particular, what subject companies are doing to identify and mitigate social and environmental risk/impact factors in their operations, as well as for their subsidiaries, suppliers, and subcontractors. This investigation also aims to determine practical steps taken regarding the requirements of the law, i.e. how the corporations subject to the law are meeting these new requirements. Devoir de Vigilance is at the legislative forefront of the business and human rights movement. A few particular features of the law are worth highlighting. Notably, it: ● imposes a duty of vigilance (devoir de vigilance) which consists of a substantial standard of care and mandatory due diligence, as such distinct from a reporting requirement; ● sets a public reporting requirement for the vigilance plan and implementation report (compte rendu) on top of the substantial duty of vigilance; ● strengthens the accountability of parent companies for the actions of subsidiaries; ● encourages subject companies to develop their vigilance plan in association with stakeholders in society; ● imposes civil liability in case of non-compliance; ● allows stakeholders with a legitimate interest to seek injunctive relief in the case of a violation of the law.

Contexte & objectifs A l’OID, nous accompagnons nos membres dans leurs démarches responsables, notamment sur l’amélioration de leur empreinte carbone. Il nous est donc apparu cohérent de nous lancer à notre tour dans l’évaluation de notre empreinte carbone, bien que n’étant pas soumis au Bilan GES Réglementaire. Si nous réalisons notre bilan pour la première fois, nous souhaitons renouveler l’exercice annuellement et ainsi évaluer la pertinence des actions mises en place. Les objectifs de cet exercice sont de mesurer nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre ; de hiérarchiser les postes les plus émissifs et de proposer des axes d’amélioration pour nourrir un plan d’actions et s’engager ainsi dans une démarche de réduction de nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Ce bilan aura été très riche en enseignements pour notre structure. En effet, il apparait clairement que la majorité des émissions de gaz à effet de serre de l’OID est due à son activité dématérialisée et à l’usage des outils numériques, reflet de notre cœur d’activité.

In our computationally retimed video (left, bottom), the jumps of children I and III are time-aligned with that of child II, such thattheyalljump together into the pool (notice that child II remains unchanged in the input and output frames). In this paper, we present a method to produce this and other people retiming effects in natural, ordinary videos. Our method is based on a novel deep neural network that learns a layered decomposition oftheinput video (right). Our model not only disentangles the motions of people in different layers, but can also capture the various scene elements thatare correlated with those people (e.g., water splashes as the children hit the water, shadows, reflections). When people are retimed, those related elements get automatically retimed with them, which allows us to create realistic and faithful re-renderings of the video for a variety of retiming effects. The full input and retimed sequences are available in the supplementary video.
