Corporate renewable energy (CRE) body RE100 is taking aim at a sharp reduction in the 75% of climate-changing emissions currently being pumped out by supply chains around the world, with a new report looking at how technology firm Apple, telecoms provider BT and homewares giant Ikea are bringing their subcontractors round to 100% clean-energy targets.
The report – Going Beyond – makes the case, based on the experience of the three companies, for creating “a multiplier effect in demand and investment” by extending renewable electricity purchasing into the supply chain.
