Climate strategy

Yotta is acting for a low-carbon industry: we support our porfolio companies in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain.

Our carbon strategy

Producing in France means producing low carbon

Yotta was founded with the idea that producing in France is already decarbonising, given the use of a particularly low-carbon electricity mix in our country.

Low carbon creates economic value

In our views, decarbonisation means increasing economic value creation in the medium term. Decarbonisation can be costly in the short term, for instance through low-carbon sourcing. With the acceleration of global warming, awareness of the unsustainability of our current consumption pattern is powerful: customers and consumers will ask for more low-carbon goods. Regulations are also becoming stricter. Our conviction is that industrial value creation is only sustainable if low-carbon.

SMEs’ need for support

Of course, managers of medium-sized industries are also aware of the climate issue. However, even if they are convinced of the urgency of the climate issue, they are generally absorbed by short-term constraints, notably supply and recruitment difficulties.
Often, time and in-house experience are limited. Public support schemes for decarbonisation actions are not always known and the administrative burden of mobilising them is not negligible.

Our support

1.

Strengthening of equity capital, which can be used for investments to improve climate performance.

2.

Implementation of incentive mechanisms for climate performance of the companies supported by Yotta.

3.

Raising awareness, sharing best practices, deploying a methodology and mobilising a network targetet at decarbonisation.

4.

Assistance in identifying public support and relevant experts for the documentation and execution of a decarbonisation roadmap.

Precisely

We support our portfolio companies in the annual calculation of GHG emissions, the definition of a concrete decarbonisation roadmap and the implementation of actions for the carbon emissions reduction of their processes.

Scope 1 & 2
Fund overview

< 10% of portfolio's greenhouse gas emissions

Decarbonisation levers

1. Decarbonising the energy vector
2. Improving energy efficiency on-site
3. Electrifying the car fleet
4. Promoting sobriety

Implementation: Groupe AET’s case study

AET Technologies’ relocation realized in 2022 enabled (i) the consolidation of the three subsidiaries on one site, historically located at different locations, reducing transport-related emissions between the sites, (ii) the choice of an industrial site with better energy efficiency.

Scope 3 downstream
Fund overview

2/3rd of portfolio’s greenhouse gas emissions

Decarbonisation levers

1. Identifying emission-intensive raw materials and initiating
a dialogue with key suppliers on products’ life cycle
2. Defining a strategy for low-carbon sourcing
3. Implementing a low-carbon transport policy for upstream freight

Implementation: Groupe AET’s case study

AET Technologies’ pre-investment carbon footprint assessment enabled to identify most emissive raw materials. An action plan for carbon-related emission reduction has been set up and is currently being implemented (e.g. eco-conception, alternative sourcing).

Scope 3 aval
Fund overview

< 1/3rd of portfolio's greenhouse gas emissions

Decarbonisation levers

1. Impacting product use (type of energy sourced) and end-of-life
2. Innovating to create low-carbon alternative products
3. Implementing a low-carbon transport policy for downstream freight

Implementation : Groupe AET’s case study

AET Technologies’ teams implemented a “retrofit” offer for already-sold industrial furnaces promoting repairability as well as a longer lifecycle.
