The only recognized organization representing the branch, the FF3C syndicate brings together nearly 2,000 independent commercial establishments whose main activity is the distribution of isolated energy. The professional sector represented includes 15,000 direct jobs and annually delivers 1.5 million tons of wood energy, 11 million m3 of non-road diesel and domestic fuel oil, and 8 million m3 of fuel.
Decentralized in regional delegations and 17 associated territorial unions, the organization defends the interests of its members before the Administration, public authorities and political interlocutors.
Carry out a strategic reflection on the evolution of their businesses
Responsible for advising companies on legal, social and technical issues, FF3C also aims to represent its member companies before public authorities and decision-makers, be it the General Directorate for Energy and Climate or the Ministry of Transport, and propose improvements in the legislative and regulatory fields.
In addition, committed to the dynamic management of the collective agreement of its companies, it signs numerous agreements on social matters.
Finally, it deals with giving a strategic trajectory to the evolution of their professions, helping their companies to understand the context in which they find themselves, informing them of the regulatory and legislative developments to come and the orientations in terms of energy policy. . so that they can anticipate and adapt.
An essential role in crisis management
Familiar with supply tensions, the union advises companies together with public authorities to manage possible supply restrictions. For example, the social movements of the fall of 2022 generated logistical disorganization and a partial shortage of service stations.
The FF3C union participates in crisis cells to allow the country greater fluidity in the supply of fuel. A role enabled by its dense network and the diversity and involvement of its sectoral ecosystem. In fact, the local storage of their companies has often made it possible to alleviate supply problems in the territories.
Resolutely commit to the energy transition
The future of unionized companies depends on the distribution of carbon-free energy. Biofuels and biofuels are part of the future mix.
Beyond 2030, heating oil and other energy products will no longer be able to come primarily from fossil fuels.
To meet these needs for carbon-free energy production, FF3C has launched an F30 biofuel containing 30% rapeseed oil methyl ester and is working on an F55 biofuel which will contain 55% vegetable oil.
At the same time, it participates together with 10 other European countries in the framework of Eurofuel, a European organization that brings together structures that promote the use of liquid fuels for heating and equipment in the domestic market in Europe.
FF3C thus confirms its commitment to the energy transition, competitiveness and efficiency of heating with liquid fuels, while reducing its environmental footprint.
The creation of FF3C dates back to 1917. If the nature of the distributed products has legitimately changed, the services owed to consumers remain of the same nature: to offer increasingly safe, efficient and storable energy so that the territories can be part of of the energy transition.
