The RE100 campaign\u00a0commits companies to sourcing 100% of their operations from renewable power and lobbies governments to increase access to low-carbon power.<\/p>\n
TCG’s programme, launched in 2014, now includes more than 100 companies including technology firms like Apple, Google, and Facebook, to consumer goods companies like Estee Lauder, Kelloggs, Ebay and Ikea.<\/p>\n
It also counts vehicle manufacturer BMW Group, drinks suppliers AB InBev, Coca Cola, Carlsberg, as well as a range of banks and financial institutions as members.<\/p>\n
Vestas joins fellow player in the renewables space Vaisala on the list of companies campaigning to source 100% renewable energy.<\/p>\n
According to TCG, Vestas’ operations have been powered by 100% renewables since 2013. “The company will work in partnership with RE100 to help influence more ambitious renewable energy targets and a policy framework for Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) that enables more renewables in the energy mix,” TCG said.<\/p>\n
By joining RE100, Vestas also commits to sourcing 100% renewable energy in the future, should consumption increase.<\/p>\n
