World Kinect Corporation sources renewable electricity for its operations in various locations across the globe as part of its effort to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
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.
The project aims to use solar systems to make electricity accessible to 8 families, allowing the use of electric lights in their homes and the development of small productive activities based on the transformation of alpaca wool.
