Gas consumption for the entire Group fell sharply in 2022 thanks to measures to improve energy efficiency combined with mild temperatures. In addition, a heat pump replaced the use of oil heating.

Focus on SOMFY ACTIVITÉS SA In 2022, the Group went even further by committing to a 10% reduction in its energy consumption in France, within a maximum of two years, as part of the government’s sobriety programme and the signing of the RTE Charter. To do this, 3 major levers were activated: heating, lighting and IT equipment. A large-scale communication campaign informed employees of the initiatives implemented by the Group and the eco-gestures that can be adopted by all. Lastly, within the production systems themselves, measures were taken to reduce their energy consumption. For example, fluorescent lighting on production equipment is being replaced by LED devices, outdoor lighting is being reduced, and a number of production facilities are shut down at night. Through these actions, more than 2,500 tonnes of CO 2 e have been saved since the beginning of 2021.

BEYOND THESE TWO MAIN AREAS, ACTING ON ALL THE GROUP’S ACTIVITIES —

TRANSPORT

SOMFY believes it is important to raise employee awareness of the challenges of global warming to enable everyone to act at their own level. More than 500 employees were able to attend a climate fresk, and messages to raise awareness of eco-gestures were shared throughout 2022.

Transport represents 1.7% of SOMFY’s carbon footprint. To reduce it, the Group has drawn up a transport decarbonisation plan with three time frames - short, medium and long term - which includes the following: – the imposition on all its partners of a minimum EURO 5 criterion for road transport; – the prioritisation of the least polluting mode of transport (or multimodal transport); – the optimisation of the filling rate of lorries when SOMFY is responsible for transport. At the same time, SOMFY raises team awareness of best practices through communication campaigns, training and change management. Focus on SOMFY ACTIVITÉS SA One example of concrete action was the introduction of a “milk run” in the Arve Valley in 2022. In the future, SOMFY plans to integrate transport data into its ERP system to improve monitoring and highlight areas for improvement in the action plan. The impact of digital is becoming a global concern with the explosion of digital services. Committed to a digital transformation, SOMFY intends to support it with virtuous practices. With this in mind, the Group’s servers have been equipped with the MyITFootprint solution to measure and detail their environmental impact. This review highlighted the share attributed to hardware, which led to the decision to extend the life of telephones and computers, which are now only replaced in case of non-repairable breakdowns. DIGITAL

PURCHASES

Purchasing accounts for 20% of SOMFY’s carbon footprint and is an important lever for action. In addition to its Responsible Purchasing Charter, the Group integrated an environmental criterion in the supplier selection process in 2022. Furthermore, SOMFY developed a tool to measure the carbon footprint of its supplies. Tangible results will be measured shortly.

MOBILITY

To encourage soft mobility, an event on mobility was organised in July 2022 during the internal sustainable development day. The survey shows an increase in the use of car-pooling as well as the use of bicycles to get to work. Focus on SOMFY ACTIVITÉS SA In 2022, the company tested “eco-safe driving” via the implementation of a dedicated application on thirty vehicles. A box connected to the vehicle allows users to be offered personalised advice and fun challenges to improve their driving. The results of this experiment are promising and were reflected in a reduction in fuel consumption and in the rate of driving accidents. It should therefore be extended to the Group’s entire vehicle fleet.
