Environmental

1. Sustainable transport development and adoption of renewable energy are rising trends globally: A large number of companies are switching to renewable and clean sources of energy for their operation’s needs. This is seen even more in European countries, with the government promoting a shift to sustainable energy by 2030, through the Green Deal. The logistics industry is also experiencing a shift to renewable energy, with more and more logistics companies opting for clean and renewable sources of energy, employing energy efficient and electric vehicles and equipment. Bollore Group has also taken various steps towards becoming a more sustainable company. Bolloré Energy is participating in an initiative to reduce the share of fossil fuels in the products it distributes. Since October 2019, Bolloré Energy has been distributing an alternative to domestic fuel oil, the “Biofuel Evolution”, made up of conventional fuel oil and biofuels, which is distinguished by its environmental qualities and, in particular, a reduction in emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. It also reduces clogging, fumes and combustion acids, making it more environmentally friendly and less foul smelling. Bolloré Energy aims to gradually increase the voluntary incorporation rate of biofuels, which is currently 5%. Bolloré Energy aims to be able to offer its customers a “Biofuel Evolution”, which includes an increased share of up to 30% biofuel (F30) subject to the authorizations necessary for the marketing of this product.
