Carrefour China makes eco-friendly savings

As part of its aim to reduce energy usage by 10% this year, Carrefour China is introducing new technologies to its 139 stores in the country to cut excess energy expelled by the stores.

 

 

This eco-friendly move has also proven to be cost-effective, as consumption was reduced between 2005-08 by taking the measures.

 

 

Energy saving renovations in the chain's stores will feature new refrigeration methods, new air-conditioning technology and new lighting. Stores are being revamped in order to accommodate the new measures in energy renovation.

 

 

Carrefour China hopes to save between CNY 100 million by spending between 50 and 60 CNY on the renovation measures.
