GEODIS teams up with EDF to decarbonize
On 8 December 2025, our subsidiary GEODIS—a global leader in transport and logistics—signed an agreement with France’s long-standing electricity supplier to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of its warehouses and transport flows.
GEODIS and EDF—both recognized leaders in their fields in France—are joining forces to deliver concrete, enduring solutions that protect the environment. Logistics currently account for 16% of France’s CO2 emissions1. As a global leader in logistics, our subsidiary is partnering with electricity producer EDF to reduce the carbon footprint of its core activities:
- warehouses
- transport flows
GEODIS may also provide logistics services—including procurement, storage and distribution of materials and equipment—for EDF’s energy production projects in key countries.

A global decarbonization strategy
The partners’ Strategic Steering Committee will review solutions explored by dedicated working groups, including:
- Supplying low-carbon energy for GEODIS sites in France and abroad.
- Optimizing energy performance at GEODIS logistics facilities, through energy audits, consumption reduction plans, and innovative solutions such as heat recovery.
- Producing renewable energy locally at GEODIS sites, for example with solar panels on warehouse roofs and solar canopies in carparks.
- Deploying charging infrastructure for both GEODIS’s and its subcontractors’ light vehicles, utility vehicles and heavy trucks to accelerate electrification across the logistics ecosystem.
- Exploring new uses for GEODIS land assets, including potential conversion of some sites into data centres.
A policy on climate change and the environment
In 2024, the Executive Board of GEODIS adopted a three-pronged policy to:
- Reduce the Group’s carbon footprint through a science-based approach aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement, while adapting to the impacts of climate change.
- Anticipate and reduce pollution—including air, noise, effluents and other impacts—to minimize harm to people and ecosystems.
- Optimize resource use by applying the reduce-reuse-recycle approach across operations and client services.
