Renewable energy consumption meter

MS&AD sources renewable electricity for its locations in Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Brazil, Malaysia, China, the US and Europe. The sources of this electricity include solar, hydropower and biogas.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

MS&AD’s commitment to sustainability

MS&AD’s goal is to create a world-leading insurance and financial services group that consistently pursues sustainable growth. In addition to supporting sustainable development by providing services designed to reduce climate change-induced damage, MS&AD have taken several initiatives to tackle GHG emissions within the organisation. In line with their goal of reducing GHG emissions to net zero by 2050, they created a proprietary environmental management system, MS&AD Green Earth Project.

Indonesian Hydro

Indonesia has tremendous potential for hydropower. There is already 5,886 MW of installed capacity, which generates over 17 TWh of electricity per year, but Indonesia's potential is estimated at 75,000 MW. The development of hydropower will be driven in part by the government’s target to increase the share of renewables in the country’s total energy use to 23% by 2025.
