KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 -- The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) has reached its 2020 goal of purchasing 100 per cent renewable electricity in the United States (US) and Canada, exceeding its original goal by extending the purchase to Western Europe.
These three are among its largest markets, representing over 70 per cent of P&G’s purchased electricity, according to a statement.
The commitment was achieved ahead of schedule, signifying a strong start to reaching P&G’s goal of purchasing 100 per cent renewable electricity globally by 2030.
“Our primary goal is, and will continue to be, to deliver the superior products our consumers can trust, with the reassurance that behind each P&G product is a supply chain committed to environmental responsibility,” said P&G chief sustainability officer, Virginie Helias.
The company’s largest individual contributors to its renewable energy production include its wind farm in Tyler Bluff, Texas, which offsets 100 per cent of the electricity needed for Fabric and Home Care facilities in the US and Canada.
Building on its legacy of environmental leadership, P&G has already achieved many of its 2020 sustainability goals for energy, water and waste, making measurable progress that can be seen across brands and geographies.
P&G expects that by executing new projects, while also continuing to purchase electricity from renewable sources, it can spur further innovation, investment and a transition to renewable energy for the regional utilities that provide energy to its nearly 150 sites globally.
