RE-Powering the Supply Chain

A win-win-win solution: renewable energy across your supply chain addresses your emissions and drives the low-carbon energy transition

Driving renewable energy in the supply chain creates wider benefits for national power systems, decarbonising power grids and creating new demand for renewables in the markets that need it most.

Policy and regulatory shifts are unlocking clean energy use along supply chains, and with solutions becoming increasingly available (and affordable) across both developed and developing markets, sourcing renewable energy is an effective way to reduce supply chain emissions and achieve climate leadership. Driving renewables in your supply chain can be an effective means of achieving a net-zero or a Science-based Target (SBT).

What are the benefits to you?

Corporates

Corporates are increasingly turning to renewable electricity because of the opportunities for reducing power costs, improving overall risk and meeting sustainability targets.

Corporates can reduce their Scope 3 emissions as the electricity consumption and carbon footprint of a corporation's own operations are often significantly lower than those of their key suppliers.
They can advance sustainability ambitions and strengthen their corporate reputation around environmental stewardship.
They can differentiate themselves from their competitors and become a leader amongst their peers.

Supply chain partners

Supply chain partners can reduce their Scope 2 emissions.
They can reduce their long-term energy costs and energy spending.
They can protect themselves from power price volatility while potentially enhancing their revenues by unlocking opportunities for new products, services and clients.
