In its dedication to combatting climate change, Chanel has committed to using 100% renewable electricity for its operations by 2025, in addition to halving carbon dioxide emissions by 2030. As a member of the RE100 initiative, Chanel has strict and exacting standards for the quality of the renewable electricity it sources, preferring energy sources such as solar, geothermal and small-scale hydro.
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.
