Solar power plant project in Verdun
Lactalis Ingredients chooses solar energy to reduce its CO2 emissions. A partnership has been established with a start-up company for the construction of a solar thermal power plant near its Verdun site.
The Lactosol solar thermal power plant, whose construction work will start in the summer of 2020, will be located in Fromeréville-les-Vallons. It will be one of the largest solar thermal power plants supplying an industrial site with 4.5 hectares of solar panels designed to produce water at 90° C for the drying site.
By reducing the site’s gas consumption, it will avoid the emission of around 2,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

YOPI* Approach
YOPI is a global approach aimed at constantly reminding all actors within a plant (internal, external, regular, one-off) that the consumers of our products can be particularly sensitive. It is reflected in a number of actions, including communication campaigns at the heart of the workshops and for new employees.
Poster campaigns are deployed in the factories to make each employee aware of the importance of product quality for the YOPI target group and to remind them of the importance of their role in guaranteeing food safety.
