Charles André Group has been working to reduce its emissions for many years. To do so, it is working on 5 axes :
1) Intermodal solutions: about 30% of GCA shipments are made by rail-road or river-road . That represents a CO2 saving of more than 300,000 tonnes per year.
2) Eco-driving and on-board computer training: Our 50 monitor follow the behaviour of our 4,700 drivers in Europe. They train them to reduce their fuel consumption. GCA devotes €4 million each year to the training of its employees, 15% of which is devoted to eco-driving training.
3) Investing in cleaner energy:
- 200 LNG/CNG trucks,
- Electric delivery trucks, forklifts or concrete routers
- Hydrogen truck testing
In 20 years, the amount of particles emitted was been divided by 13 and fuel consumption reduced by 15%.
4) Solar panels: 110 hectares of GCA compounds are covered, enough to supply a city of 100,000 inhabitants with solar energy.
5) CO2 offsetting: more than 1000 trees planted, many biodiversity projects and short circuits.
