GOLDPOWERTHE GOLD STANDARD IN RENEWABLE ENERGY: SUSTAINABLE. ADDITIONAL. IMPACTFUL.

Meeting multiple global sustainability targets simultaneously is a challenge

Leading companies have signed long-term commitments to power their operations with renewable energy, lower their carbon footprint and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

However, these ambitions are often challenged by procurement constraints, legislative restrictions or a lack of transparency regarding the available products and solutions.

Choose renewable energy with measurable sustainability impacts

GoldPower is a renewable energy product based on Gold Standard labelled Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) that not only provides the highest quality of renewable energy but has measurable, positive impacts on communities and the environment in developing countries. It combines robust verification and tracking of renewable electricity generation with additionality, social and environmental safeguards, and transparency through monitoring and 3rd party audits.

As leading companies are continuing to commit to sourcing

100% renewable energy it has never been more important

to have certainty of its origin. GoldPower provides absolute

traceability, transparency and quality assurance as well as

social and environmental benefits.

In a nutshell

GoldPower enables you to compensate the environmental impact of your power use, wherever your operations may be. GoldPower is fully reportable under key reporting schemes and assures true additionality along with verified social and environmental benefits.
