Vestas' sustainability factor fell in 2018
The wind turbine manufacturer sourced 13 percent less of its electricity consumption from renewables in 2018, a year in which the company produced both more CO2 and industrial waste. The company's SVP for Global Quality, Safety and Environment concedes that this appears hypocritical but maintains that Vestas is becoming more sustainable.
Vestas raised its climate ambitions last year. In a sustainability report from 2017, the manufacturer emphasized its acceptance into the commercial climate initiative RE100 and listed all the ways in which its made progress on all parameters during the year. The proportion of consumed renewable energy increased, waste volumes were reduced, and the CO2 emissions target was achieved already three years ahead of schedule. Thus, sharper adjustments were made to the targets up to 2020.
