A new milestone towards a more sustainable manufacturing model
As part of its long-term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, Activ'Inside has deployed a 327 kWc photovoltaic installation on the roof of its production site. The project represents a
significant step forward in the company's ambition to reduce its environmental footprint while increasing its energy independence.
The solar installation is expected to generate more than 355 MWh of renewable electricity annually, directly supporting the site's industrial operations.
"Since the conception of our manufacturing facility, we have sought to integrate solutions that combine industrial performance with environmental responsibility. This photovoltaic project is a
natural continuation of the commitments we made when building the site and reflects our vision of sustainable growth," said Renaud Ducept, Industrial Director of Activ'Inside.
Solar energy powering industrial production
One of the most remarkable aspects of the project is its high level of self-consumption. Nearly 100% of the electricity generated by the solar panels will be consumed directly on-site, demonstrating the perfect alignment between production needs and renewable energy generation.
The installation is expected to cover approximately 17% of the factory's annual electricity consumption, meaning that roughly one kilowatt-hour out of every six consumed at the site will
come from solar energy.
This optimised use of locally produced renewable electricity reinforces Activ'Inside's commitment to responsible manufacturing while helping to secure part of the site's energy supply.
Immediate environmental benefits
Beyond reducing dependence on external electricity sources, the project will contribute to lowering the company's environmental impact by avoiding nearly 10 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions each year.
The installation also demonstrates strong environmental efficiency throughout its lifecycle. According to the project's assessment, the photovoltaic system will generate, in less than 11 months, the equivalent amount of energy required for its own manufacturing, installation, operation and end-of-life management.
Building the future of responsible nutraceutical manufacturing
Since the opening of its manufacturing facility, Activ'Inside has continuously invested in innovative technologies designed to improve operational efficiency while minimising environmental impact. The addition of solar power further strengthens the company's position as a responsible and forward-thinking player in the nutraceutical industry.
By combining scientific excellence, premium manufacturing standards and concrete environmental actions, Activ'Inside continues to pursue its mission of delivering innovative health solutions while contributing to a more sustainable future.
