Energy efficiency
In line with its energy efficiency plan rolled out at the end of 2022, the Group is now going further and seeing the first results of its energy policy.
After several months spent optimizing equipment, training staff and raising awareness among teams, Fnac Darty has been awarded the ISO 50001 certification.
The Group made strategic investments and mobilized its employees in order to cut back on its energy consumption and thus reduce its environmental impact. A number of measures have been implemented:
- Investment in LED lighting and energy management tools (BMS): All Fnac and Darty integrated stores have been fitted with energy-efficient LED solutions. In tandem with this, the installation of Building Management Systems (BMS) has allowed for more granular control and better regulation of the Group’s energy consumption.
- New temperature and lighting guidelines: Temperature regulation and lighting use have been standardized and cataloged in the green habits guide.
- Team awareness and involvement: A network of in-store energy CSR ambassadors has been created, a dedicated e-learning introduced, and regular communications set up to encourage eco-friendly behaviors and get teams more involved in energy efficiency efforts.
- Continuous monitoring of energy performance: A dedicated team has been created at the Fnac Darty head office to continuously monitor and analyze energy performance, allowing improvement opportunities to be quickly identified.
All these measures have enabled the Group to:
- reduce its electricity consumption by at least 15% compared to 2022.*
- reduce energy and transport-related CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030.
This certification comes after a series of rigorous audits of the measures put in place and the continuous improvement policy.
As an EcoWatt partner, Fnac Darty supports the platform’s manifesto promoting structural efficiency, and is continuing its work to raise awareness among its stakeholders and implement actions to improve electricity consumption management for the coming winter.
