Sustainable development: Tereos’ commitment to climate acknowledged

As the French sugar business is right at the heart of its cooperative model, this great result provides welcome evidence of Tereos' commitment to reducing the environmental impact of
its activities. This recognition is even more important given the fact that the cooperative group operates in a liberalized market since the end of EU production quotas (1st October
2017), and increased its production by 30% in France this year.

'We are very proud of this result. It represents a reward for the strong actions set up by our cooperative Group in favour of climate, and notably the investment plan implemented in all the Group's French sugar factories. Completed this year, the plan has allowed us to reduce our energy consumption by 15 % and our CO2 emissions by 20 %. Our commitment is to make sure that by 2020, 50% of the energy we consume is renewable in all our business areas, as compared with 2010.' commented Gérard Benedetti, CSR Director at Tereos.
