FRANCE LOGISTIQUE

What FRANCE LOGISTIQUE does

France Logistique is a French non-profit industry association founded in January 2020 under the presidency of Anne-Marie Idrac, a former French minister. It is the first organization to bring together all private-sector actors of the entire French logistics chain—freight transport, warehousing, and distribution operators—under a single unified voice, and serves as the privileged contact point for public authorities on cross-cutting logistics issues. The organization represents a sector of approximately 150,000 companies (predominantly SMEs and ETIs) and 1.8 million workers, focusing on three priorities: competitiveness and resilience, ecological transition (notably truck electrification), and territorial equity.

Its core products and programs include the 'Référentiel RSE en transport et logistique' (an ISO 26000-aligned CSR framework with 7 action fields, 27 challenges, and a downloadable self-assessment tool), the LogTech innovation program bringing together startups, SMEs, ETIs, and large groups, and the 'Logistique 4.0' call-for-projects program offering €90 million in public aid to innovative logistics projects. Additional funding programs include 'AAP Ecosystèmes véhicules lourds électriques' (supporting 629 electric trucks across 80 winners in its first cohort) and 'AAP Entrepôts' (warehouse innovation). The organization co-organizes ecosystem events including the Supply Tech meeting at Bercy (150+ participants) and the Bpifrance 'Accélérateur Transport Routier'.

The business model is non-commercial: France Logistique does not sell products or services, distributes its RSE framework and self-diagnostic tools free of charge, and is funded through its founding member federations (AFILOG, AUT France, CGF Grossistes, OTRE, E-TLF) and partnerships with public bodies (ADEME, French ministries, Bpifrance, the Élysée). Its primary GTM is policy advocacy and industry coordination rather than commercial sales—engaging members and government stakeholders through website content, news releases, industry analyses, and events.
