Renewable Energy Initiative: RE10x10 by 2025
Based on the organization's ISO 14064 greenhouse gas inventory and ISO 14067 product carbon footprint, MacroHI has identified an emission hotspot: "electricity use" in operations and manufacturing. Therefore, in response to this key carbon reduction initiative, we are committed to introducing renewable energy by signing on to the Greenpeace RE10x10 Initiative in 2020, committing to use more than 10% renewable energy by 2025. We have already achieved this goal since 2021, and has siginificantly increased use of renewable energy in 2023 to more than 60% each month for our headquarter (Read More: Renewable Energy Collaboration of MacroHI and AcTel Power).
