♻️ Global Recycling Day: The importance of recycling in renewable energy's lifecycle Producing energy from renewable sources is positive, ensuring that our entire value chain is sustainable is what the society is expecting from us. As sustainable stakeholders, we are committed to ensuring end-of-life is fully taken into consideration, through re-use and recycling. On this Global Recycling Day, let's highlight some key figures of our industry: 🌬Wind power: Today, 90% of wind turbines are made from easily recyclable materials such as steel, concrete, copper and aluminium. We are working actively with our suppliers to ensure that all these materials are fully recovered at the end of their life. Research is also underway to improve the recycling of blades, made of composite materials, to go even further. ☀️ Solar: The recycling of photovoltaic panels, carried out by Soren throughout Europe, enables at least 95% of the materials to be recovered. Glass, aluminium and metals are recycled, and solutions have been put in place to recover the other elements, notably as derived fuel. In 2023, more than 5,200 tonnes of photovoltaic panels were recycled in France. 🔋Battery storage: In July 2023, the EU adopted a new regulation to ensure batteries placed on the EU market are sustainable and circular throughout their whole life cycle. Concretely, The regulation sets a target for lithium recovery from waste batteries of 50% by the end of 2027 and 80% by the end of 2031. Also, as of 2027, every single battery will be tagged with a QR to trace all its components and ensure reuse and recycle. As we celebrate Global Recycling Day, it's clear that continued innovation in recycling is key to enhancing the environmental benefits of renewable energy and fostering a more sustainable future. A lot has been achieved in few years, but it is our collective responsibility to keep on going through bold commitments. #Sustainability #GlobalRecyclingDay ADEME Syndicat des énergies renouvelables (SER) SolarPower Europe

📢 6th edition - Windpower Data & Digital Innovation Forum On 13 March 2025, Nicolas Dietenbeck, Director of Performance & Interface at Akuo, spoke at the Windpower Data and Digital Innovation Forum, organised by Leadvent Group in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

March 8: International Women's Rights Day! 💥 This day is a valuable opportunity to remind us that: ⚖️ Defending women's rights is not an offense against men, but a step towards a fairer and more equitable world for everyone 🚀 The underrepresentation of women in leadership positions persists, limiting performance and opportunities 📚Access to secondary education and technical fields for young girls is crucial 💰 Pay equity is a fundamental right: equal pay for equal work must be the norm 🌟 The development and management of talented women are essential for the progress of our society. Encouraging and supporting women in their professional journeys benefits everyone We are with Akuo committed to these issues throughout the year, but this day is also an opportunity to measure that there is still a lot to be done, and that we must never slacken our efforts, at every level of the organization. With the strong involvement of Eric Scotto and the executive committee, our Women@Akuo program supports these goals by: 🤝 Overcoming stereotypes and making our company more inclusive through concrete actions (Greenworking / Fifty - Alexia Cordier) 🧮 Ensuring equal pay between women and men (Marion Muller) 🌱 Supporting women in their professional development through ExCom mentoring (Myriam Pfister) 👩💼Promoting the development of leadership among our female talents (Audrey FRICOT) 🏆Facilitating women's access to management and expert positions (Daniela Stratulat) 🔧Raising awareness among girls about engineering and technical careers and promoting more balanced recruitment (Floriane PIOTTO) Having role models in any field not only fuels inspiration but also raises one's own standards. I commend the mentors of our program, Alexandra Sombsthay & Valery Sellem , and on a more personal note, my mentor when I was a young HR mentee (just a few weeks ago...): Sandrine VANNET Achieving gender equity within the company is a necessity. However, to make our companies truly inclusive, it is also crucial to promote better representation of different origins, social backgrounds, personal orientations, and the visibility of disabilities (visible and invisible) 🌈 #IWD20225 #EQUITY Activez pour voir l’image en plus grand.

🌱💡Retour sur le plateau TV organisé par La France Agricole lors du Salon de l'Agriculture ! Lors de cet événement phare, Ludivine Pasquier, Responsable Agrivoltaïsme chez Akuo, et Julien Duthu, agriculteur exploitant en Bourgogne, ont eu l'occasion de discuter des enjeux et bénéfices de l'agrivoltaïsme. Ils ont notamment abordé le projet innovant de Sombernon, en Côte d’Or, premier projet agrivoltaïque de grande ampleur en France, qui allie production d’énergie solaire en trackers et grandes cultures. L'occasion pour Julien d'expliquer pourquoi il a choisi d'implanter cette technologie sur ses terres à faibles potentiels et peu profondes. Grâce à l'agrivoltaïsme, il parvient à rentabiliser ces sols tout en générant un complément de revenu essentiel à la viabilité économique de son exploitation. De son côté, Ludivine a insisté sur l'engagement d'Akuo à répondre aux besoins spécifiques des agriculteurs en co-construisant des projets sur-mesure. Cela passe par une collaboration étroite avec son équipe d'ingénieurs agronomes, afin de garantir l'optimisation des rendements agricoles tout en facilitant l’exploitation et s’adaptant aux engins mécaniques. L'agrivoltaïsme représente une véritable opportunité pour allier transition énergétique et durabilité agricole, tout en offrant aux exploitants une nouvelle voie vers la rentabilité et la résilience face aux défis climatiques. #SIA2025 #agrivoltaisme
