All electricity from renewable sources as progress continues on sustainabilty path
- aguar Land Rover buys 100% of its electricity from renewable sources in new purchase agreement with EDF Energy, to continue into the 2020s
- Renewables purchasing programme revealed in #sustainability Report
- Business continues research and development in electric, hybrid and conventional powertrains.
Jaguar Land Rover #automotive plc, the UK’s largest car manufacturer, has sealed an agreement with EDF Energy to buy all its electricity from renewable sources up to March 2020.
Jaguar Land Rover’s electricity supply is backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO), meaning a proportion of EDF Energy’s renewable energy is ring-fenced specifically for the company. The REGO scheme certifies the proportion of supply that comes from renewable generation – 100 per cent in #jaguar Land Rover’s case.
Our future is low-carbon, clean and efficient. Our programme to reduce our burden on the National Grid doesn’t end here: we seek continual improvements, both in how we can reduce energy consumption further and how to minimise our carbon emissions. Our aim is to give our customers an assurance that the company’s electricity will come from renewable sources: those being in addition to the solar array at our Engine Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton, one of the largest rooftop installations in Europe.
IAN HARNETTEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND GLOBAL PURCHASINGEDF Energy is pleased to announce that we will continue to supply #jaguar Land Rover with 100 per cent renewable electricity for the next three years. #jaguar Land Rover is a valued partner of EDF Energy – we share a strong focus on #sustainability and are very proud to support Britain’s biggest car maker in achieving their low-carbon ambitions.
BÉATRICE BIGOISMANAGING DIRECTOR OF CUSTOMERS, EDF ENERGYJaguar Land Rover’s renewables purchasing programme operates within a wider context of #sustainability. The business’s latest annual #sustainability report, published today, shows the business achieved:
- 32% reduction in European fleet average tailpipe CO2 emissions (2015 compared to 2007)
- More than 38% reduction in energy per vehicle produced, compared to 2007 (UK manufacturing)
- Building on our research and development in electric, hybrid and conventional powertrains, we invested over £3billion in technology, design, engineering and manufacturing
- In one year alone (to April 2016) we reclaimed more than 50,000 tonnes of press shop aluminium waste - enough to make around 200,000 #jaguar XE bodyshells. Giving all that aluminium another life has also prevented more than half a million tonnes of CO2 f
- New buildings designed to achieve the highest standards such as the Building Research Establishment's BREEAM 'Excellent' standard. BREEAM encourages designers and others to think about low carbon and act accordingly, minimising the energy demands create
