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.

  • The Rothschild Bibliography Caroline Shaw of the Rothschild Archive Describes Her Attempts to Chart the Family’S Countless Ventures Into Print
    The Rothschild Bibliography Caroline Shaw of The Rothschild Archive describes her attempts to chart the family’s countless ventures into print The ‘Dunottar Castle’ from the cover of Three weeks in South Africa by Ferdinand de Rothschild Has there ever been such a family as the Rothschilds for getting into print? For me, after working on this project for two years, the question is coloured by a mixture of wonder and exasperation. Will they never stop publishing? Of course, one hopes not; but is there to be no rest for the bibliographer? It has been a long-standing goal of The Rothschild Archive to compile a bibliography of publications by members of the Rothschild family and now, 1,840 entries by fifty-one individuals further on, we are perhaps ready to acknowledge that critical mass has been reached whilst accepting that completion may never be achieved. The initial motivation for producing The Rothschild bibliography was a desire to bring some kind of intellectual order to this not insignificant aspect of the activities of the Rothschild family. It has been a mapping of a wide and diverse terrain and revealed some previously uncharted areas. Beyond this, and the greater insight allowed into the lives and interests of many members of the family, the bibliography has brought some other benefits to the Archive. New acquisitions have followed from our greater knowledge and awareness of the publications; and the ever-expanding database of references has also built up into a guide for locating material, whether held at the Archive or at another institution.

  • Paintings and Works of Art from the Estates of Baron Fould-Springer and Cécile De Rothschild
    15 January 2003 Contact: Céline Hersant-Hoerter (Paris) 33 1 40 76 85 88 [email protected] Catherine Fenston (Londres) 44 (0) 207 389 2982 [email protected] PAINTINGS AND WORKS OF ART FROM THE ESTATES OF BARON FOULD-SPRINGER AND CÉCILE DE ROTHSCHILD Christie’s Paris 11 March 2003 Paris – Christie’s is to offer paintings and works of art from the estates of Baron Fould-Springer and Cécile de Rothschild on 11 March 2003. After the success of the sales of Rothschild Collections in London, Geneva and New York, Christie’s France is delighted to have been chosen as the auctioneer to hold the sale of works of art from the Estate of a member of the French branch of this illustrious family. The pieces to be included in the sale comprise French furniture and works of art, Asian art, silver, porcelain, maiolicas and paintings. Estate of Baron Fould-Springer Max Fould-Springer (1906 – 1999) was born in Vienna to an Austrian mother, whose family had businesses in Central Europe and France, and to a French father, descending from the illustrious Fould family of bankers that goes back to the Second Empire. Although he felt profoundly French throughout his life, his name - which was ennobled by Emperor François- Joseph of Austria (1830-1916) – made him a faithful adherent and supporter of both cultures. Though not a passionate collector, Baron Fould-Springer had a great sense of taste and an incomparable talent for successfully combining works of art and objects from different periods and styles, many of which were acquired by his father, Baron Eugène Fould-Springer, in the 19th century.
