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 3 key areas: sustainable mobility, a responsible cold chain and support for all stakeholders.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. As a European leader in temperature-controlled food transport and logistics, STEF has a responsibility to actively contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions.

Concrete objectives 

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from our vehicles by 30% by 2030

Achieving 100% low-carbon energy in our buildings by 2025  

Committing our subcontractors to a more virtuous approach to the environment

#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 10% of our electricity consumption.

#3 For collective action 

Our commitment is a collective one, and its success depends on the involvement of everyone. We are helping our 22,000 employees, our partners and our entire ecosystem to play their part in the ecological transition.

  • Our employees are trained in the issues of climate change.
  • We support our subcontractor partners in adopting a more virtuous approach to the environment : we help them to renew their vehicle fleets and include a clause to reduce their carbon footprint.
