"'We Are Committed to a Future Powered by Renewable Energy': Morten Dyrholm, Vestas Wind Systems", 26 Oct 2017

"Vestas has decided to make its own operations powered by 100% renewable electricity...We set our first renewable electricity target back in 2010 and two years later we decided to increase that target to 100%. The target was reached in 2013...As our operations and electricity consumption grows, our commitment is to stay at 100%...RE100 helps to bring attention to the growing private sector commitment to a greener and more sustainable future through sourcing renewable energy. In addition to making sense from a sustainability point of view, it also makes economic sense...Companies and the larger private sector play a huge role in shifting the energy markets. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, US$11.3 trillion will be invested in power generation to meet the rapidly increasing energy demand. And it is the private sector that will provide the technologies and innovations that will make this shift happen...In 2011-15 we promised to reduce our product carbon footprint by 5%, but we actually reached 15%.
