Unilever has announced that its manufacturing sites in the UK are now powered by 100 percent renewable energy. Unilever’s Power Purchase Agreements to acquire 87%, or 165 gigawatt-hours (GWh) with the renewable energy company Eneco UK has been a biggest contributor in the company’s effort to go for renewable energy for its manufacturing units. Other such agreements have been signed by Unilever for its offices and sites in Nehterlands. Yvette Edwards, Sustainable Business and Communications Director said,”It’s been an exciting start to the year in the UK where we are on a journey to improve the sustainability of our sites. This latest step in securing an in-country, sustainable supply of wind-generated energy is an important milestone in helping us meet our bold ambition of becoming carbon positive by 2030. It’s made all the more significant as any surplus supply will be sold to nearby communities, thereby progressing our vision of making sustainable living commonplace.” Zoisa Walton, Country Director, Eneco UK said,”Eneco is proud to partner with Unilever to provide a solution to its 2030 ambition to become carbon positive. We are committed to working with companies in realising their sustainable energy ambitions as well as the local community through our partnership with Cooperative Energy on the ‘Highlands and Mearns Wind’ tariff. It is a good example of Eneco’s mission to provide sustainable energy for everyone.”
