AkzoNobel reaffirms its commitment to transitioning all its manufacturing sites globally to 100 percent renewable electricity. The company announces its official partnership in the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Green Power Partnership, (GPP) reinforcing its dedication to environmental stewardship.
This milestone marks AkzoNobel as a leader in the paints and coatings industry with EPA GPP recognition for using 69 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually at its manufacturing sites in the US, achieved through the purchase of renewable electricity with certificates of origin.
According to the EPA, AkzoNobel’s US manufacturing sites green power use in 2023, is equivalent to the electricity use of more than 6,400 average American homes annually.
“At AkzoNobel, we have set an ambitious goal to reduce the carbon footprint in our operations (scope 1 and 2) and in our value chain (scope 3) by 50 percent by the target deadline of 2030. We are proud of our partnership with the EPA on the use of renewable electricity in our manufacturing operations in the US,” said Wijnand Bruinsma, AkzoNobel global director of sustainability.
AkzoNobel’s participation in EPA’s GPP is part of its broader sustainability strategy, which includes participation in the RE100 initiative uniting the world’s most influential businesses committed to 100 percent renewable electricity.
