SIG Global aims to limit global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Need
SIG has set bold climate targets approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and is committed to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
Challenges
In order to achieve ambitious GHG reduction goals, the solution would require integration of an onsite solar solution and renewable energy credit (REC) trading.
Solution
An onsite solar solution was provided to SIG (Thailand), which was one of the largest rooftop systems in the WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate at the time of construction. Expansions included additional rooftops and ground mount solutions. By 2030, SIG will be able to achieve GHG reductions of 58,520 tCO2e.
