Global Group Inc. announced a five-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with ACCIONA Energía to power all four of its facilities in Mexico with wind and solar power. Procuring nearly 100,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of cost-effective, renewable energy annually, this agreement is projected to avoid around 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, or CO2e, annually ? equivalent to taking over 15,000 cars off the road.

Utilizing a breakdown of around 70% wind and 30% solar, Berry?s San Luis Potosi, Cuautitlán Izcalli, Atlacomulco, and Tlanepantla sites across Mexico will consume 100% renewable energy due to this deal. San Luis Potosi is the larger site powered through the agreement, accounting for roughly two-thirds of Berry?s total energy consumption in the country. This new agreement adds to Berry?s existing Latin American renewable energy portfolio for a total estimated renewable energy consumption of over 120,000 MWh.

Such investments allow the company to aggressively increase its renewable energy usage year over year, advancing Berry?s Science Based Targets initiative-validated climate goals to reduce absolute Scope 1+2 (operational) emissions by 25% and Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions by 25% by 2025, compared to 2019.
