2025 Methodology update

We are looking for membership to the RE100 initiative: https://www.there100.org/re100-members and information on the target. 

Public commitment to source 100% renewable electricity throughout entire operations, including any scope 1 emissions relating to generation of electricity by the company, all scope 2 emissions relating to company activities and the operations of businesses operating with the brand or company group.

RE100 targets are consumption targets. The goal is to be consuming 100% renewable electricity by a target year. All electricity consumed, coming from both self-generation and purchases from utility/supplier is included in the target. The target boundary can be defined in terms of the organization’s GHG emission boundary (following the GHG Protocol convention). RE100 targets are for the electricity consumption which underlies, according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: 

• All Scope 2 emissions associated with purchased electricity; and

• All Scope 1 emissions associated with the generation of electricity by the company, for the company’s consumption. 

For instance, a Combined Heat and Power plant used to generate electricity for self-consumption is within the scope of the RE100 target. If the electricity produced is sold to the grid or a third party, it does not fall in the scope of the target.
