Abstract: As part of the G20 initiative to develop new climate indicators, we propose an original measure of the carbon footprint of French companies' foreign direct investment based on the CO2 emissions of around 2,500 French multinational groups. This footprint is greater in Asia and Africa, even though the amounts invested are relatively lower.

S’inscrivant dans l’initiative du G20 visant à développer de nouveaux indicateurs climat, nous proposons une mesure originale de l'empreinte carbone des investissements directs étrangers des entreprises françaises basée sur les émissions de CO2 d'environ 2 500 groupes multinationaux français. Cette empreinte est plus forte en Asie et en Afrique alors que les montants investis y sont relativement plus faibles.
