ECO2: Energy Consumption Optimization for Economic Efficiency and CO2 Reduction

From Pure Cost-Effectiveness to Sustainability: Towards Novel Approaches for Energy Efficiency Management within the Carrefour Organization

Vision

To promote continuous and open innovation within our Organization in the field of Energy Management to become recognized leaders worldwide and provide our support to the Corporate Social Responsibility team.
To contribute to a more sustainable development by:
- increasing our energy efficiency
- promoting management practices for energy saving
- stimulating the use of renewables and e-mobility
- contributing to the actual reduction of CO2 production

Involvement

By actively participating to the project, you will make you ideas and proposal eligible for in-depth economic analyses, which may be useful to convince your own stakeholders to finance your initiative
The project portal itself will become a reference tool (like a cookbook for recipes) within our organization to:
- highlight best practices,
- setup new projects guidelines, and
- benchmark innovation activities
A shared project manager (a candidate PhD in relevant fields) will support all the partners to implement best practices associated to selected projects

The ECO2 platform will comprise 4 different pillars for discussing both opportunities and needs emerging from all the participant partners
Both opportunities and needs will pave the way for open discussions and new challenge definition
