Spread across the entire country and totalling more than 170,000 sq.m of logistics space, the four warehouses leased by ARGAN to DECATHLON are key platforms in the brand’s distribution chain in France and Europe.
Having been committed for several years to a shared approach aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of their activities, ARGAN and DECATHLON are now taking a major new step in their partnership by fully modernizing the heating systems of their sites in order to significantly improve their energy performance.
The gas boilers have been replaced with next-generation heat pumps, a high-performance solution that significantly reduces energy consumption and the carbon footprint. This initiative is fully aligned with ARGAN’s ambitious environmental policy.
The simultaneous commissioning of this equipment across all four sites marks the successful completion of a coordinated project carried out on occupied premises, without any disruption to logistics operations.
A major environmental impact: 700 tons of CO₂ avoided each year, equivalent to the annual emissions of 120 French citizens
This project is fully in line with ARGAN’s goal of reducing the carbon emissions of its portfolio, with the aim to lower them from 24,000 tons in 2022 to 12,000 tons in 2030, i.e., -50%.
A partnership that reflects ARGAN’s DNA
This rollout fully reflects ARGAN’s DNA: supporting its tenant-clients as their logistics networks evolve toward ever more efficient, resilient, and decarbonized solutions. ARGAN’s ability to design and manage technical solutions tailored to each site strengthens the energy efficiency of its portfolio and contributes to the performance of its partners.
Stéphane Cassagne
Head of Asset Management and Development
The coordinated rollout of heat pumps across all DECATHLON warehouses demonstrates the strength of our partnership and our ability to deliver efficient, sustainable, and immediately operational solutions. The reduction of 700 tons of CO₂ per year is a tangible result that directly contributes to our climate objectives.
