CARREFOUR 
By
AFNOR Certification (France's national organisation for standardisation) has awarded ISO 50001 certification to Carrefour for its commitment and the commitment of its employees in relation to energy policy. Carrefour is the first French retailer to have the efficiency of its energy policies recognised in this way by an independent body, using an international standard, for all of its integrated sites - stores, warehouses and head offices.
An energy management system that exceeds the requirements of current regulations
The "Energy Management Systems" ISO 50001 certification issued by AFNOR Certification has been awarded in recognition of the retailer's energy efficiency policy. By obtaining this certification, Carrefour is exceeding the requirements of current regulations - regulations which, in compliance with article 8 of European directive 2012/27/EU, require that an energy audit of each store be carried out between now and the end of 2015.
Recognition for the retailer's energy management and the involvement of its teams
This certification has been awarded in recognition of initiatives that Carrefour has been implementing for nearly 10 years now. "I would like to pay tribute to the involvement of our employees, without whom this certification would not have been possible. I'm very proud that all of their efforts have been worthwhile and officially recognised. I would like to urge our teams to continue with their efforts to tackle energy and food waste - a priority for Carrefour", said Noël Prioux, Executive Director of Carrefour France.
An energy efficiency plan and concrete initiatives implemented for 10 years
"This certification is evidence of Carrefour's high-performance energy management of various projects and concrete initiatives that it has been implementing in its 776 stores, as well as at its merchandise warehouses", said Florence Méaux, AFNOR Certification's General Manager. Since 2004, it has had a centralised control system for managing the energy it uses on refrigeration, lighting, air conditioning/heating and cooking (ovens and rotisseries). Carrefour is a forerunner in this area and its initiatives include introducing closed cabinets for chilled and frozen food, installing low-energy lighting and recovering heat. As a result, Carrefour's hypermarkets have managed to reduce their energy consumption by more than 30% per sq.m. and its Market supermarkets by 11% per sq.m. since 2004. Within the framework of its on-going improvement strategy, Carrefour has set itself the target of reducing average energy consumption by 30% between now and 2020 across all of its store formats.
