In 2015 Coca-Cola European Partners France (CCEP France), along with 9 other companies, signed the charter "FRET 21: shippers commit themselves", initiated by ADEME (Agency for the Environment and Energy Management), AUTF (Freight Transport Users Association) and the Ministry of Ecology, sustainability and Energy.
The signing of the FRET 21 charter, a clear commitment by CCEP France to continue to reduce its CO2 emissions.
The charter provided that each signatory manufacturer must commit to at least two significant actions with a precise scope, within which it will implement means to reduce its CO2 emissions. Each action would then be monitored and evaluated by operational indicators over a three-year period.
CCEP France had decided to embark on this approach to formalize its commitment and to illustrate in concrete terms its initiatives related to the reduction of its carbon footprint.
Logistics rethought for a minimal carbon footprint at CCEP France
Today, transport accounts for 7% of CCEP France's carbon emissions. We have set ourselves a reduction of 1/3 of our carbon footprint between 2007 and 2020 and the signing of the FRET 21 charter was part of this objective.
Among the initiatives and actions deployed by CCEP France, the following stand out:
"In 2015, CCEP France was one of the 10 first signatories of the FRET 21 charter. This initiative is part of our program to reduce our carbon footprint by 1/3 between 2007 and 2020. Today, we are pleased with the success of the charter and its opening to all manufacturers. It is indeed by working with all shippers that we will be able to achieve the objective set since the Grenelle I law in terms of transport", says Eric Desbonnets, Vice-President Supply Chain of CCEP France.
