Getlink publishes its Energy Efficiency action plan
and reinforces its commitment to environmental excellence

As an eco-responsible transport infrastructure manager since its creation, Getlink has been
committed to promoting low-energy and low-carbon transport services and is dedicated to
a continuous energy performance approach. By publishing today its Energy Efficiency
Action plan1, Getlink is firmly in line with the efficiency approach desired by the French
public authorities and strengthens its commitment to environmental excellence.
This action plan in line with the 2019-2025 Environment Plan, which will enable the Group
to reduce its carbon footprint by 30% by 2025. Its deployment has already saved nearly 40
GWh per year on traction electricity2.
The Energy Efficiency plan is built on concrete actions such as in-depth moderation of daily
use by all employees and partners of the Group (reduction of heating instructions in
buildings, eco-gestures oriented towards lighting or digital uses in particular), the
continued development of eco-driving, and even accelerating bulb replacements with LEDs
in the Concession. All these actions will generate up to 9% additional savings by 2024 on
auxiliary consumption, i.e., up to 5 GWh.
In addition, the Group adheres to the EcoWatt3 system developed by RTE in partnership
with Ademe and undertakes to relay information to its employees and partners on the best
practices that will be implemented.
“Our Energy Efficiency plan strengthens Getlink's ambitious trajectory in favour of low-
carbon transport through efficient and responsible management of our electricity
consumption. By acting on the company's auxiliary consumption, our Group undertakes its
role of training its employees, partners and stakeholders for eco-responsible practices that
respect the environment and energy resources” said Yann Leriche, CEO of Getlink.
