On December 8, 2025, GEODIS, a global leader in transport and logistics, and EDF announce the signing of a partnership aimed at decarbonizing the supply chain in France and internationally.
The purpose of this partnership is, on the one hand, to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of GEODIS’ warehouses and transport flows worldwide, and on the other hand, to examine the conditions under which GEODIS could provide logistics services on behalf of the EDF Group in the main countries where it operates.

As part of this agreement, the two groups will explore solutions focused on:
- Low-carbon energy supply for GEODIS sites in France and abroad;
- Optimization of energy performance in GEODIS’ logistics facilities: audits, consumption optimization plans, and innovative solutions such as heat recovery;
- Local production of renewable energy at GEODIS sites, notably through the installation of solar panels on warehouse roofs and the development of solar carports;
- Deployment of charging infrastructure for GEODIS’ light vehicles, utility vehicles, and heavy trucks, as well as those of its subcontractors, to accelerate the overall electrification of the logistics ecosystem;
- Enhancement of GEODIS’ land assets, including studies on the potential transformation of certain sites into data centers.
Finally, EDF and GEODIS will assess how GEODIS could provide logistics services such as procurement, storage, and distribution of materials and equipment for energy production projects.
The first Strategic Steering Committee will be held in the coming days to ensure effective monitoring of the agreement and related projects.
For topics within their scope of expertise and activities, EDF Group subsidiaries such as Izivia and EDF Power Solutions will engage in discussions with GEODIS.
Marie-Christine Lombard, Chairwoman of the GEODIS Executive Board, stated:
“The signing of this agreement marks a decisive step for our Group and is fully aligned with our decarbonization roadmap. This partnership allows us to put our expertise at the service of EDF while opening new development opportunities for GEODIS. It reflects the determination of two French leaders to join forces and take concrete, sustainable action for the environment.”
Marc Benayoun, EDF Group Executive Director in charge of the Customers, Services & Territories Division, added:
“As the logistics sector accounts for 16% of CO₂ emissions in France, its decarbonization is a critical challenge. This partnership demonstrates EDF Group’s ability to support GEODIS, a global leader in transport and logistics, with a comprehensive range of solutions to improve its carbon footprint.”
