All of AkzoNobel’s locations in North America now operate on 100% renewable electricity, helping to drive the company’s ambition of reducing carbon emissions across the full value chain by 50% by 2030 (basekine 2018). This milestone – reached at the beginning of the year – is the latest in AkzoNobel’s ongoing efforts to transition to 100% renewable electricity at all its sites globally, with Europe having achieved the landmark at the start of 2022.
The transition to 100% renewable electricity in North America includes manufacturing sites, offices, warehouses, and research and development facilities. However, the company is looking much further than its own operations.
