Carrefour has set itself the goal of reducing energy consumption in its stores and gradually moving away from fossil fuels. Accordingly, the Group intends to foster the low carbon transition and stabilise the cost of energy for Carrefour, despite a context of energy price inflation in several countries.
Reducing in-store energy consumption
Reducing store coolant emissions
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), particularly those used in refrigeration units, have several thousand times more global warming potential than natural refrigerants such as CO2. In line with the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), Carrefour is committed to eliminating the use of HFCs by 2025.
Reducing transport-related emissions
Logistics, customer and personnel transport, and goods transport are key items in the Carrefour business model. The Group seeks to optimise their environmental and economic efficiency, and innovates to step up the development of carbon-free solutions. Customers benefit directly from this transition, as regards both purchasing power and convenience in their everyday journeys.
