Énergies renouvelables
Au moins 80 % de l'énergie utilisée par l'entreprise provient de sources renouvelables. Les sources renouvelables sont définies comme celles qui se reconstituent naturellement au cours d'une vie humaine (par exemple, la biomasse, l'énergie éolienne ou solaire).

- Type of energy used
- % of renewable energy used
What documents do I need to supply?
Evidence should strongly support the claim and will be made publicly available
- Confirmation from energy provider
- Energy consumption report broken down by type of energy
- Energy bill from renewable energy supplier
Who can verify this Proof Point?
Verifiers are third parties who can confirm the validity of a given Proof Point
- Recognised energy provider
Proof Point Basis
The Renewable Energy proof point highlights companies that are powered by renewable energy sources. What counts as renewable energy is defined in law by the Renewable Energy Directive (Directive (EU) 2023/2413, "RED III"), setting out the qualifying sources: wind, solar (thermal and PV), geothermal and ambient energy, hydropower, biomass, landfill gas, and sewage/biogas. Following EU/UK regulation, to evidence this claim energy must be sourced under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) or matched to a Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) for the same consumption period. REGOs must be bundled with the underlying electricity supply for the same consumption period; an unbundled REGO, traded separately from the electricity actually delivered, does not evidence the claim. This bundling requirement reflects the GHG Protocol's Scope 2 Guidance, which states an unbundled certificate does not establish that the electricity consumed was the renewable electricity generated.
