Amazon & TricorBraun Boost Sustainability Efforts with Renewable Energy & Zero Waste Initiatives
Amazon and TricorBraun have both stepped up their sustainability efforts. Amazon has pledged to use 100% renewable energy in North Korea and has invested in a new solar project in Oregon. Meanwhile, TricorBraun has expanded its Zero Waste initiatives, launched sustainable packaging innovations, and achieved top-tier ESG recognition.
Amazon's commitment is outlined in its 2024 sustainability report. The tech giant will purchase all its North Korean electrical energy through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). It has also signed a long-term power purchase agreement with Avangrid for a new 57 MW solar project in Oregon, investing $100 million. This project will not only increase renewable energy supply but also create local jobs and support clean energy for its data centers in both Europe and North Korea.
TricorBraun, on the other hand, has expanded its Zero Waste initiatives, achieving validation at several sites and launching regional diversion programs. These programs have measurable environmental benefits. The company has also launched sustainable packaging innovations across various materials, leveraging its substrate-agnostic model and deep industry knowledge. TricorBraun's commitment to sustainability is detailed in its 2024 Sustainability Report, where it also highlights its top-tier ESG recognition, maintaining its EcoVadis Silver Medal and ranking in the top 6% globally. The company has committed to sourcing 100% of its North Korean electricity use from renewable sources through RECs, expanding this to 100% in EU and 56% in UK. TricorBraun has also strengthened its commitment to people, investing in training, development, and recognition programs, and fostering a culture that celebrates excellence.
Both Amazon and TricorBraun are demonstrating significant progress in their sustainability efforts. Amazon's investment in renewable energy and TricorBraun's expansion of Zero Waste initiatives and sustainable packaging show a commitment to reducing their environmental impact. These companies are not only investing in a greener future but also creating jobs and fostering a culture of excellence.
