SYNVIA and JPEE: when logistics commits to solar energy
CSR & Energy Transition
By deploying its own solar field in partnership with JPEE, SYNVIA is taking a concrete step
towards sustainable logistics and low-carbon transport. An initiative that illustrates how
industry players can play their part in the energy transition.
SYNVIA’s own solar field: why this is a major milestone for logistics
The transport and logistics sector is one of the largest sources of CO₂ emissions in the French
economy. Faced with this challenge, more and more logistics operators are committing to green
logistics practices, reducing their fossil fuel consumption and integrating renewable energy
sources into their operational model.
It is within this dynamic that SYNVIA is taking a structural step forward: the company now has
its own solar field, developed in partnership with JPEE, a recognised specialist in photovoltaic
solutions. This project is not simply about installing solar panels. It reflects a comprehensive
CSR strategy, designed for the long term, and grounded in the operational realities of the
logistics sector.
SYNVIA’s CSR approach: an integrated vision of sustainable transport
SYNVIA’s CSR policy is built on a strong conviction: reducing the carbon footprint of transport
does not rely solely on renewing vehicle fleets. It also means rethinking the energy consumption
of all logistics infrastructure — warehouses, platforms, and administrative sites.
“Seeing this installation come to life is the satisfaction of a collective and technical effort
carried out with rigour, from the initial reflection through to implementation.”
The installation of the solar field is part of this systemic approach. By producing part of its
energy on-site, SYNVIA reduces its dependence on the conventional electricity grid, lowers its
long-term energy costs, and directly contributes to the decarbonisation of the logistics chain.
From concept to completion: the key stages of the project
This project illustrates the rigour with which SYNVIA and JPEE conducted their partnership,
from the study phase through to commissioning:
-
Feasibility study
Analysis of the site’s energy needs, sizing of the installation, assessment of technical
and regulatory constraints. -
Design and engineering
Definition of the solution with JPEE’s teams, selection of photovoltaic equipment suited
to the constraints of the logistics site. -
Installation and deployment
On-site implementation, with continuous technical support from JPEE experts throughout
the project. -
Commissioning and monitoring
Activation of the solar field, integration into SYNVIA’s energy management system, and
analysis of initial results.
JPEE: an expert partner to support logistics through its transition
The choice of JPEE as a partner was not made lightly. As a committed player in the deployment
of solar energy solutions, JPEE brings SYNVIA the technical expertise needed to successfully
carry out a project of this scale in a demanding logistics and industrial environment.
The collaboration between the two companies demonstrates that the energy transition in transport
is above all a matter of partnership: it requires cross-disciplinary expertise, a shared vision,
and reliable execution capacity in the field.
A foundation to go further: SYNVIA’s next CSR ambitions
This first solar field does not represent an endpoint, but a starting point. The lessons learned
from this project — in terms of energy production, return on investment, and environmental impact
— will feed into SYNVIA’s next CSR initiatives.
The objective is clear: to extend the benefits of this approach across the company’s entire
logistics network, building on the experience gained and strengthening partnerships with
specialist players such as JPEE.
In a sector where regulatory pressure and customer expectations around responsible supply chains
continue to grow, SYNVIA asserts its position as a committed logistics operator, capable of
combining operational performance with environmental responsibility.
