Tetra Pak 100% renewable electricity commitment
Committing to increase its use of renewable electricity from 20% to 100% across all global operations by 2030, Tetra Pak has joined RE100.
Charles Brand, executive vice president, product management and commercial operations at Tetra Pak, says, “Signing up to RE100 reflects our ongoing commitment to minimising our climate impact and increasing our use of renewable resources.
“We have set an ambitious target to ensure carbon emissions across our value chain are capped at 2010 levels through to 2020, and we are making excellent progress. In 2015 emissions were down 15% from the 2010 baseline, despite a 16% increase in production.
“Since setting our climate goal we have maximised our efforts to reduce energy consumption; committing to a renewable electricity target is a natural next step.”
RE100 is a global, collaborative business initiative led by The Climate Group in partnership with CDP to drive demand for, and delivery of, renewable power.
Tetra Pak’s decision to join RE100 underscores its commitment to tackle climate change, and comes just six months after the company joined the Paris Pledge for Action at COP21.
