Measures to improve energy efficiency
The company develops significant and concrete measures to improve its energy efficiency.
About the data
This sub-metric is used to evaluate the metric : ""3.2 Efficiency and energy saving""
With this metric we refer to the 2 most important aspects of sustainable energy consumption: Efficiency and Savings.
Energy saving involves a change in consumption habits such as avoiding energy waste.
Energy efficiency is the fact of minimising the amount of energy needed to satisfy the demand without affecting its quality; it means replacing one piece of equipment with another that, with the same performance, consumes less electricity, for example.

Methodology
We will "assign a" "YES" "to this question if:
- The company declares that it has implemented at least 3 specific and relevant measures to improve its energy efficiency.
Or:
- The company declares that it has implemented important measures to improve its energy efficiency and communicates the% of effective savings achieved thanks to them.
Some examples of measures developed in the retail sector are:
In stores :
- Improvements in the insulation of both the envelope and the cold cabinets
- Use of LED lighting in all facilities
- Smart management of energy consumption
- Doors on frozen islands,
- Floating condensation in the refrigeration system to regulate the cooling according to the outside temperature, double glazing and - - Carpentry with thermal bridge break
- Home automation or remote management to control energy consumption
- Reduction of "LEAKS" in food cold facilities
- Self-supply of low impact energy (photovoltaic)
- Energy certifications
In offices :
- Equipment: Energy Star certified appliances, automatic energy saving mode, timers to monitor energy after working hours, etc.
- Lighting: natural light, compact fluorescent lamps, presence sensors, lighting regulators, task lighting, LED lighting, etc.
- Air conditioning: programmable thermostats, timers, presence sensors, blocking of solar exposure on the walls, double-glazed windows, etc.

- Sustainability Report
