The Customer
A European jewellery brand recognized for ethical production, sustainable sourcing, and high-impact climate action. As the company grew, so did its responsibility to decarbonize operations — particularly within its Asian manufacturing supply chain.
The Challenge
The factory operated in a region with a fossil-heavy electricity grid and no direct access to renewable energy. The brand needed more than a symbolic environmental claim — they wanted a high-impact Scope 2 solution that would:
- Prioritize additionality and measurable impact
- Match the factory’s regional grid through location-based sourcing
- Leverage proven renewable technologies meeting RE100 standards
- Secure multi-year procurement to manage price and market volatility
The Solution & Results
Using GreenPowerHub’s global supplier network, the brand accessed I-REC projects tailored to its impact goals and budget. Through the Quote & Buy process, they compared cost-competitive offers assessed on technology, additionality, grid relevance, and geographic proximity.
Within days, the brand secured a multi-year contract with a newly built wind project located near its factory — covering 100% of Scope 2 emissions with certified renewable energy. This impact-first strategy not only strengthened ESG alignment and future-proofed supply chain decarbonization but also provided price stability and a compelling narrative to share with customers and partners.
"We didn’t just want to tick the renewable box — we wanted to act where it truly matters and create real impact. GreenPowerHub’s platform enabled us to achieve this with both cost efficiency and speed!"
