Our commitments to the planet

Our Moving Green programme

As a player in the food supply industry, our Group is aware of its responsibility towards the planet: for over 20 years, we have been taking action to reduce our environmental impact.  

Our "Moving Green" roadmap was created to accelerate this commitment, focusing on 4 key areas: sustainable mobility, a responsible cold chain, the support of our partners and the involvement of our teams.

#1 For sustainable mobility 

It's part of our brand purpose : we're committed to supplying people in a safe and sustainable way.

We are actively participating in the transition to a low-carbon world. 

  • We optimise our transport plans by making loads denser and reducing the distances travelled.
  • We are reducing the emissions and fuel consumption of our vehicles by renewing our fleet and by ​practising eco-driving. 
  • We favour alternative fuels (biodiesel, biogas, etc.) and are testing new technologies.

#2 For a responsible cold chain 

We are taking concrete action to reduce our energy consumption.

  • We systematically carry out energy audits through our energy management system (EMS). 
  • We use artificial intelligence to control our refrigeration facilities.
  • We are deploying photovoltaic panels at our sites, which now enable us to cover 5 % of our electricity consumption.

#3 For our suppliers

We help our partners, and our entire ecosystem, to play their part in the ecological transition.

  • We work with our subcontractor partners to take a more environmentally-friendly approach. We help them to renew their vehicle fleets and incorporate a carbon footprint reduction clause.
