For several months, the government wanted to do everything to encourage the French to reduce their energy consumption. This happens through electricity, but also through water and fuel. Indeed, our leaders believe we use too much. Which is a problem since the latter is made from fossil materials, not to mention becoming a rare commodity due to scarcity. A few months ago, the state forced its employees to slow down just to drive 110 km/h on highwayseven limited to 130 km/h.

All employees?

The idea of ​​lowering the cap for everyone was also discussed, but was quickly shelved. The government wanted to avoid further protests by French motorists after 80 km/h. But the project to force drivers to slow down has not been forgotten. Our leaders now want to encourage employees of private companies to do so. But not all, because only the biggest will suffer. This is especially true CAC40 and SBF120 companies.

What measures?

That is why the government is asking companiesconduct a social dialoguein order to ” to establish sobriety in time but above all to achieve a 40% reduction in energy consumption “in all countries. Therefore, he would like interested companies to establish ” quantitative targets for reducing energy consumption “and let them confirm” by higher internal bodies such as the board of directors or Comex“. Whether they agree to play the game or not remains to be seen. there fuel consumption did not decrease between 2021 and 2022 according to official data.
