In 2024, oil still accounted for 28% of France's primary energy mix.
And since France produces almost none of it, its supply relies almost entirely on imports.
Behind these two facts lies a simple reality: our dependence on oil is not just environmental.
It is also economic. Industrial. Geopolitical. And deeply social.
When prices rise, the consequences ripple outward. They affect transport, businesses, profit margins, public services, jobs, and purchasing power.
No company exists outside this system. Neither does Dynamo.
Our operations still depend on processed materials, manufacturers, transport, and international supply chains.
Acknowledging this does not solve the problem.
But perhaps responsibility begins exactly there: not by claiming to be virtuous, but by looking clearly at what we depend on. And then seeking to gradually reduce that dependence.
Questioning distances. Organizing transport better. Knowing the origin of products. Prioritizing durability, repairability, and reuse. Avoiding replacing what can still be used.
This is also the role of Sustainable Procurement at Dynamo: to make visible the consequences that the purchase price does not always reveal.
It is not about claiming purity. It is about choosing a path.
And doing our part.
