Paris, 21 December 2021
GreenYellow, subsidiary of Casino Group and
an expert in decentralized solar photovoltaic production, will
supply renewable electricity for Amazon’s
operations.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) will support Casino
Group on its digital transformation.
Casino Group and Amazon Web Services agreed to a
strategic collaboration to aid each company’s sustainability goals.
Casino Group, through its energy subsidiary GreenYellow, which is a
major international player in decentralized solar power generation
and energy efficiency, is pleased to announce it agreed to a
Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Amazon for a
new utility-scale solar project in France. The deal
highlights GreenYellow’s ability to provide renewable energy for
the power needs of large companies operating in France.
The companies will continue to evaluate other
renewable projects in France and across Europe.
The renewable electricity purchased under the
PPA will help support Amazon’s commitment to power its global
operations with 100% renewable energy as part of its Climate Pledge
commitment to reach net-zero carbon by 2040—10 years ahead of the
Paris Agreement.
Under this collaboration, Casino Group and its
subsidiary GreenYellow will benefit from AWS Cloud services fueled
with green energy. AWS will also work with RelevanC, the Group’s
subsidiary specializing in data marketing solutions, to develop
algorithms to further enhance customer experience.
"Casino Group once again demonstrates its ability to partner with
the best players in each sector to pursue its digital
transformation. It is consolidating its collaboration with Amazon
around three essential axis: energy with GreenYellow which supports
major players in meeting their sustainability goals, the
digitalization, of its IT architecture in particular, and
algorithms developed to enhance customer experience.” said
Jean-Charles NAOURI, CEO of Casino Group.
“We are delighted to provide access to AWS
technology for both GreenYellow and other Casino brands to gain
operational efficiencies, unlock data-driven insights, and
accelerate their pace of innovation,” said Julien GROUES,
Country Director for AWS France “Casino group has embarked on a
growth strategy using the cloud to help the company deliver better
service for its customers. AWS is excited to be part of Casino
group’s digital transformation journey.”
“GreenYellow is pleased to support
sustainability goals’ AWS through a first CPPA that provides an
environmentally friendly energy production coupled with an
innovative solution. This collaboration confirms the relevance of
our global and unique platform and skills dedicated to the energy
transition and reinforces the acceleration of GreenYellow's
development strategy.” said Otmane HAJJI, President of
GreenYellow.
“We’re excited to work with local companies to
deliver French renewable energy for our operations. Working with

renewable energy sources is a great opportunity to support Amazon’s
sustainability goals.” said Nat SAHLSTROM, Director, Amazon
