> Environmental performance recognized by EVE 2022 trophy GEODIS’s road transport business in France has been rewarded for its environmental performance as part of ADEME’s Voluntary Commitments for the Environment (EVE) program. Committed since 2019 to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 6% through the Objectif CO2 charter and a three-year action plan, GEODIS was awarded the trophy for the best progress in its category based on the results of the first two years of its commitment. Actions carried out included: • eco-driving training for drivers; • progressive decarbonization of the vehicle fleet; • actions to improve the quality of preventive maintenance, which positively impacts the fuel consumption of the vehicles in the fl eet; • in collaboration with its main subcontractors, the implementation of a Track & Trace solution to improve reloading conditions and thus minimize empty miles. The technological transition to low-carbon energy sources is gathering momentum. GEODIS has been investing for the past ten years in technological innovations to progressively decarbonize its fleet of vehicles. A number of different technologies are needed to cover the various modes of transport and uses, from long-distance transport to last-mile delivery, and to support the trajectory of decreasing greenhouse gas emissions to a carbonneutral economy by 2050. GEODIS is developing the use of electric, biogas and biofuel vehicles for road freight. The Group is speeding up the transition of its fleets with investments in low-carbon technologies. 420 biogas or electric vehicles are currently being supplied. By 2024, these vehicles will make it possible to deliver to the city centers of France’s 40 largest cities using low-carbon solutions. To facilitate access to low-carbon vehicles for its subcontractors, GEODIS has also set up a vehicle leasing system for them. The Group is also investing in innovation seeking to extend electric technology to new uses, particularly for heavier vehicles, and is exploring options for the use of hydrogen. > Renault Trucks and GEODIS pool their expertise GEODIS and Renault Trucks have joined forces to design a new 16-tonne electric urban truck, with a running cost similar to that of a diesel vehicle. This truck takes account of all the requirements of urban delivery: significantly lower pollution and noise, improved ergonomics for the driver and enhanced active and passive safety to better manage co-existence with all road users. After delivery of the prototype in early 2023, the trial of this truck for urban delivery is planned in Paris for later in the year. GEODIS offers its customers a range of sustainable fuels for air and sea transport that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 75%. For air freight, SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) is a biomassbased fuel. For ocean freight, the alternative fuel, SMF (Sustainable Marine Fuel), is mainly made from recycled oil. The use of SAF and SMF for GEODIS’s customers’ transportation operations in 2022 avoided 4,851 tonnes of CO2e emissions. Climate and energy metrics and targets Greenhouse gas emissions In 2022, GEODIS’s reported greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3) totaled 4,171 ktCO2e. Scope 1 and 2 emissions represent 8% of these, respectively 280 ktCO2e and 72 ktCO2e. Scope 3 represents 92% of emissions and corresponds for the most part to subcontracted transport. Reducing the Group’s greenhouse gas emissions therefore involves influencing and supporting its subcontractors and taking account of CO2 emissions criteria in the selection process. 2020, 2021 and 2022 emissions by scope (in ktCO2e) 2020 2021 2022 Scope 3 3,029 Scope 2 80 Scope 1 168 Scope 3 3,694 Scope 2 84 Scope 1 208 Scope 3 3,817 Scope 2 72 Scope 1 281 Scope 3 data for 2020 and 2021 has been revised to bring it into line with the scope of the Group’s financial reporting. Emissions corresponding to BCO (Beneficial Cargo Owner) services, which the Group administers but for which it does not choose the transport or manage it operationally, are no longer taken into account. These services concern Freight Forwarding activities, and in particular maritime transport. 40 2022 ACTIVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 03 ENVIRONMENT
