“My generation, as a baby-boomer, looks at clean air and energy as infinite commodities. The generation coming up looks at it totally differently.”
Tony Milikin, Chief Sustainability Officer, Anheuser-Busch InBev
Some American firms are taking climate change so seriously that they are surprising even former critics.
Such commitment includes energy-efficiency measures and new wind and solar projects that companies are helping to build around the world.
Rather than buy the bulk of their power from utilities, which can rarely guarantee 100% clean energy to their customers, companies are using power-purchase agreements (PPAs). Through PPAs companies sign long-term contracts to buy clean electricity at agreed prices from firms that develop solar and wind farms.
