LPR – La Palette Rouge Accelerates Its Green Transition with a Historic reduction in its Carbon Footprint in 2024

LPR – La Palette Rouge (a division of Euro Pool Group) has reached an important milestone in its environmental strategy, reducing its carbon footprint by 10 % in 2024. This achievement underscores the company’s strong commitment to more sustainable logistics.

Successful Decarbonisation Strategy

Through a comprehensive and coordinated approach, all of LPR-La Palette Rouge’s subsidiaries, working in collaboration with its logistics and QSE (Quality, Safety, and Environment) departments, have implemented ambitious initiatives to accelerate the ecological transition. This significant reduction in emissions is the result of key strategic actions:

• Transport Optimisation: More efficient route management and increased use of alternatives to diesel fuel have led to an 11% reduction in CO2 emissions from transportation. In France, 28% of the kilometers travelled in 2024 were powered by biofuels.

• End-of-Life Pallet Recovery: Improved collection and reuse of pallets resulted in a 20% decrease in emissions associated with end-of-life pallet management.

• Sustainable Investments: By integrating sustainability criteria into acquisition and renewal decisions, LPR-La Palette Rouge has reduced the carbon impact of its capital expenditures (CAPEX).

• Additional Initiatives: The adoption of renewable energy in warehouses and the reduction of business travel have also contributed to these outstanding results.

A Strengthened Commitment to Sustainability

Overall, the measures implemented in 2024 prevented the emission of 11,000 tons of CO2, this measure has further solidified LPR’s position as a key player in the ecological transition within its sector.

“We are proud to have exceeded our CO2 emission reduction targets. These results confirm our concrete commitment to more sustainable logistics and our ability to innovate in response to environmental challenges. LPR-La Palette Rouge will continue its efforts in 2025 with even more ambitious initiatives to enhance environmental efficiency and support our clients in their own decarbonisation journey,” stated Jean-Luc Guénard, Managing Director of LPR.

With this major achievement, LPR-La Palette Rouge reaffirms its role as a responsible and engaged leader, ready to tackle the climate challenges of tomorrow.
