However, Casino Group has 11,000 stores in 9 countries of which 9,031 are located in France.

“As an indication of the fast development of GreenYellow, the renewable energy subsidiary of the Casino Group, and to improve our continued commitment to sustainability, Casino Group is very pleased to extend our agreement with SunPower and install solar power systems on a significant number of additional properties,” said Philippe Houins, chief operations officer of Green Yellow.
