particularly LED, the technical management of buildings and the promotion of renewable energies are all means of reducing their consumption and their emissions. But the area in which the most sig- nificant progress has been made in reducing the Group s carbon footprint is transport, through the optimization of logistics processes and the renewal of its fleet: pro- moting shared transport, deliv- ery service rationalization, pool- ing flows between Rexel entities, eco-friendly vehicles, etc. All of these measures, as well as the favorable weather conditions of 2014, led to an 8.1% reduc- tion in the Group s scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions on a like-for-like basis between 2013 and 2014.
