Renault Group exceeds its decarbonisation target for its freight transport activities
Between 2018 and 2021, Renault Group reduced the carbon footprint associated with the transport of its goods in Europe by 6.9%, exceeding its target of 5.3%. These results were validated within the framework of FRET21, a scheme bringing together transport and logistics players, led by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) and the Association of Freight Transport Users (AUTF), which encourages shippers of parts and vehicles to reduce the environmental impact of transport.
Since joining this scheme in 2015, the Group has reduced its CO2 emissions from its logistics activities in Europe by a total of 15%, thanks to innovative solutions implemented by the Supply Chain department, such as eco-design of packaging and reduction of the number of kilometres travelled.
The Renault Group Supply Chain intends to continue its decarbonisation efforts and has committed to reducing its carbon footprint per vehicle worldwide by 30% by 2030.
“For more than 10 years, we have been working to identify solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of our supply flows. We are increasingly using multimodal transport and improving the fill rate of containers and trucks, as well as the eco-design of our packaging and reducing the number of kilometers travelled. This regular work with many of the Group’s business lines and our suppliers, as close as possible to our industrial system, has enabled us to meet and even exceed our CO2 emission reduction targets for the second time in a row.” Said Florence Ughetto, Sustainable Development and Logistics Expert, Renault Group Supply Chain.
“As a major player in the supply chain on a global playing field, Renault is rigorously and consistently committed to our Fret 21 initiative. Its actions are concrete and very operational, which is a guarantee of success, and they are co-constructed with the transport service providers in a partnership approach.” Added Pierre Lupoglazoff, EVE Project Manager at ADEME.
