Levers

ENERGY PILLAR Reduce consumption by 20% by 2030 compared to 2017

■ Pool, optimise subscriptions, invoice audits ■ Deploy energy monitoring across the entire postal fleet (“Power 10,000” project with Sobre Énergie) ■ Increase the share of energy renovation work in GRGE programming ■ Strengthen energy performance requirements in the works policy (for new and existing buildings), particularly in the specifications for major repairs and maintenance work and logistics platforms ■ Develop self consumption, with the objective of reaching 20 MWp in production. ■ Implement LED relamping operations ■ Set up, with an energy company, a global contractual mechanism, making it possible to accelerate and consolidate the realization of work over the period 2022-2030 ■ Accelerate the exit fuel oil, with a target completion date of 2023 ■ Renovate gas boilers (responsible for more than 66% of the CO 2 emissions) with a switch to less carbon-intensive sources whenever possible ■ Limit new construction and promote renovation of the existing portfolio ■ Pursue the policy of environmental certification of buildings ■ Prescribe low-carbon materials and promote reuse in projects ■ Through a partnership with an envery company, set up a comprehensive contractual arrangement to accelerate and massify the completion of work over the period 2022-2030.

CLIMATE PILLAR Reduce CO 2 emissions by 35% by 2030 vs 2017 for the portfolio of directly-owned properties (in accordance with the national low-carbon strategy)

Energy pillar: “buy better, consume better, produce better” In a context where energy prices are volatile, the efficiency efforts must be combined with a policy for controlling and securing energy purchase prices. To “Buy better” energy, La Poste Immobilier activates all the levers of massification, optimisation of subscriptions, audits of invoices, etc. In 2016, La Poste undertook to supply 100% of the buildings managed by La Poste Immobilier with electricity from renewable sources through guarantees of origin. The objective was achieved by 2016. Electricity from renewable sources is also used to power the fleet of electric vehicles and IT equipment. The group has set itself a broader target: 100% electricity consumption from renewable sources across all group sites, parent company and subsidiaries (with a renewable electricity supply) by 2025. La Poste Immobilier is studying other possibilities to secure prices and protect against their volatility, on the 550 GWh/year of electricity consumed with: ■ global corporate power purchase agreements (GC PPAs), energy purchase agreements established directly with the renewable energy producer at a fixed or determined rate for a period ranging from one to thirty years; ■ the increase in self-production of photovoltaic energy, which secures part of the supply and makes it independent of market prices. “Consume better” is achieved through: ■ lower energy consumption thanks to the performance of building envelopes and energy systems;

■ updating of all work requirements while maintaining strict requirements in terms of energy and low-carbon performance; ■ structuring of the certification and labelling policy; ■ the proper operation and sustainable management of buildings and their uses; ■ acculturation to energy and climate issues. In order to “Produce better ”, La Poste Groupe started to install photovoltaic panels on its industrial facilities in 2009. The group has signed a partnership with Urbasolar to install photovoltaic power plants on the roofs and shades of logistics platforms and to resell the electricity produced to the EDF grid. At the end of 2022, the 54 installations managed by La Poste Immobilier generated 8 GWh during the year. La Poste Immobilier investigated the possibility of deploying photovoltaic self-consumption in its fleet to secure part of the group’s electricity supply (in a regulatory framework that is moving more towards the production of photovoltaic electricity for self consumption than for resale) and to contribute to the development of renewable energies in the French energy mix: ■ eight pilot projects resulted in a production of 6 GWh per year. A larger-scale deployment of photovoltaic self-consumption in the group’s fleet is planned, based on a reliable solar mapping in 2020 which revealed 400 high-potential sites. As a signatory of the Afilog Charter, La Poste Immobilier has made a commitment to invest in renewable energies and to equip up to 50% of roof surfaces with photovoltaic panels when project studies are favourable. Collective self-consumption is also studied. La Poste Immobilier is working on concrete cases to recover possible production surpluses that are not self-consumed by consumers in the vicinity, for energy decentralisation in local communities. This is the case in particular for the Rodez project, whose production allows for collective self consumption with a transfer of any surplus to social housing.
