Kerry Group has announced it will use 100% renewable electricity at all its manufacturing plants and offices across the world by 2025, after announcing it had signed up to the RE100 initiative, which works with some of the world’s largest multinationals to transition to 100% renewable power.
The taste and nutrition giant said the move would reduce its emissions impact by over 1m tonnes in the next five years.

Kerry said the transition to 100% renewable electricity is part of its goal to cut its operational emissions by 33% over the next decade and to reach net-zero emissions before 2050.
Kerry said it will utilise a diversified portfolio of solutions globally to support its transition and broader goal of net zero carbon.
“The commitment to using 100% renewable electricity will have an immediate impact and will reduce our footprint by over one million tonnes of carbon between now and 2025, helping us meet our goal of net zero emissions before 2050,” said Kerry Group’s head of sustainability Juan Aguiriano.
