Réunimer took advantage of European Sustainable Development Week (A SEAT) to announce its assURE level 3 certification, a key step towards international ISO 50001 certification. Carried by ADIR, the assURE program puts energy management within the reach of small and medium-sized local industries.
Réunimer's latest certification does not concern responsible fishing, but energy savings : the company opened the doors of its premises to mark the obtaining of this ASSURE level 3 certification, the highest in the program, issued by ADIR. It represents the equivalent of the international standard ISO 50001 for, precisely, “energy demand control systems”. It rewards the company's efforts to reduce its environmental impact by optimizing its energy consumption.. Reunite, which employs 108 sailors, 230 employees in total, and has a fleet of 14 ships, undertook an in-depth diagnosis of its activities in collaboration with ADIR. The Décarbon’action diagnosis made it possible to assess the carbon impact of its production chain and to implement concrete actions., with rigorous monitoring indicators. Engaged in this program since 2021, Over the past four years, the company has developed a set of actions which are now producing more than encouraging results..
Notable energy transition efforts
Seventy percent of the electricity consumed by the primary processing plant is used for the production of cold, essential for maintaining the cold chain of products. In order to optimize this consumption, several initiatives have been put in place : renovation of cold rooms to improve their efficiency, optimization of set temperatures to reduce energy losses, reducing cold production in certain rooms during periods of low activity, raising awareness among staff about closing doors to avoid loss of cold, installing solar panels to support renewable energy production. The assURE level 3 certification, delivered by ADIR, crowns these efforts. This label is part of Réunimer’s long-term strategy to minimize the company’s carbon footprint while maintaining a high level of performance..
