Cordier has chosen Idex to boost energy efficiency of its production sites and reduce their carbon footprint

A collaboration plugged into the same wavelength

Cordier, the wine subsidiary of the InVivo cooperative group, has chosen Idex, a key player in
the local low-carbon energy market, to implement its plugged-in parking offering (solar panels
and charging stations for electric vehicles) for its production sites in Trilles (34) and Cubzac-les-Ponts (33).

Annual production of photovoltaic panels at Trilles is estimated at 631 MWh (equivalent to the
annual consumption of around 120 households), which will cover 20% of the packaging site’s
annual energy needs.

In terms of charging stations, more than 20% of the parking spaces will be equipped with
charging stations for electric vehicles.

In Gironde, the historic Café de Paris production site located in Cubzac, plans to deploy
ground-mounted solar panels, to be connected in spring 2024.
Work on the shading systems will start in July 2024. 80% of the energy produced will be for
self-consumption.

Our Aude-based UCCOAR production site will be the next to undergo this type of
transformation.

The partnership is planned to last 20 years. Idex provides a turnkey solution from conception
to maintenance, including financing and management. This operation enables Cordier to
surpass the regulatory standards set out in the French EnR (renewable energy) law concerning
the installation of photovoltaic shading systems in parking lots, and the LOM (Mobility
Orientation Law) concerning the installation of recharging stations for electric vehicles in
company parking lots.

Terra 360, Cordier’s CSR strategy in action

Cordier, the wine subsidiary of the InVivo cooperative group, acts every day on its offers, its
operations and with stakeholders to produce quality beverages, taking care of the Earth and
those who grow it. Its Terra 360 CSR strategy has four main pillars: regenerative viticulture
and biodiversity, health and safety, transparency and traceability, and carbon footprint
reduction. The objectives are ambitious: reduce GHG emissions by 46% (baseline 2019/2020)
and increase the use of renewable energies by +10%.

This transition is economic, but above all ecological. It reflects the values of the InVivo group,
which became a Mission company in 2020, the new demands of consumers, who are keen to
buy environmentally-friendly products, and employees, who are also sensitive to these positive
actions on their work tools.

“We’re proud to team up with Idex to drive this energy transformation,” says Philippe Leveau,
Deputy CEO Cordier by InVivo. “This partnership allows us to accelerate our CSR commitment
by relying on experts in local energy production.”

“This new partnership is a perfect illustration of Idex’s ability to provide its customers with a
turnkey solution tailored to their needs. With the Parking Plugged-in offer, which combines
charging stations and photovoltaic shading, Idex is supporting Cordier Excel in its Low Carbon
Footprint Buildings Department.

Work in progress

In Languedoc, work on the parking lot, which began on December 18, will be completed in
May 2024
