BMW’s goal is to have the most sustainable supply chain in the industry. BMW has sourced 100% renewable electricity for its locations worldwide since 2020, and plans to meet a growing percentage of its energy needs through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in the future. Having joined the RE100 initiative in 2015, BMW is one of the world’s leading companies when it comes to ambitious renewable energy targets.
The production of renewable electricity is certified by Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs). These are the accepted legal instrument through which claims of renewable energy generation and consumption are substantiated in the global renewable energy market. There are different types of EAC for different regions of the world, and they are all in compliance with the quality criteria set by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol in the latest Scope 2 guidance document.
