SIG is the only beverage carton manufacturer to produce 100 % packaging using renewable energy. A new contract to secure real-time wind energy for the production of SIG carton packs in Germany underlines the company's commitment to doing even more for the environment by investing directly in renewable energy capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

SIG's production has been climate-neutral since 2018<\/strong>. The company's packaging is produced using 100 % renewable energy (electricity and gas). Initially, most of the renewable electricity was sourced indirectly, either through guarantees of origin or through international GoldPower\u00ae<\/sup>-certificates for renewable energies. SIG<\/a> is now focussing on Opportunities to purchase or produce a larger proportion of renewable electricity directly<\/strong>.<\/p>

At the centre of this approach are Investments in local solar systems at the company's production sites worldwide<\/strong>. SIG already has solar capacities of 7.2 MWp at its production sites in China and Thailand. Further systems are under construction at the production sites in Brazil, China and Germany. Additional projects in Austria, Saudi Arabia and Mexico are in the planning phase.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The PPA contract for the wind turbines in Beppen is the SIG's first direct investment in renewable energies outside its own production sites<\/strong>. PPA contracts enable SIG to invest directly in renewable capacities outside its own locations.<\/p>

As part of its Way Beyond Good, SIG is now examining further opportunities to invest in additional renewable energy capacity - both at its own production sites and externally. The company's investments in renewable energy for production have to date more than half a million tonnes of CO2<\/sub>equivalents, thereby contributing to a lower-carbon supply chain<\/strong>. SIG also encourages all suppliers to use renewable energies so that the Reduce climate impact and contribute to decarbonisation in the supply chain<\/strong>.<\/p>
