NIBE has specifically committed to working towards 6 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals: 7 (affordable and clean energy), 8 (decent work and economic growth), 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure), 11 (sustainable cities and communities), 12 (responsible consumption and production), and 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions). In line with these values, NIBE sources renewable electricity for its locations across the globe as a step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting clean energy.
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.
