Seeks to limit global warming to 1.5°C, as established by the Science Based Targets Initiative and constitutes the most ambitious global commitment that has been achieved so far. For their part, various companies participate in the RE100 goal and are committed to ensuring that 100% of the electricity they use is renewable. The scheme to achieve the goal of 100% renewable electricity in Mexico is based on three sources of supply: wind farms, photovoltaic panels (which by the end of 2021 will cover 30,000 m 2 ) and iRECs (Internationally Recognized Instruments) certificates for solar energy and wind. Wind farms. The contract with the company's main supplier includes the supply of renewable electricity in its manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, Research and Development Centers and the Agricultural Development Center.
This renewable electricity comes from three wind farms located in the states of Puebla, Oaxaca and Guanajuato. Photovoltaic panels. These allow the company to generate its own electricity for various processes. In that sense and with the objective of contributing to the goal of reducing emissions and maintaining business productivity, PepsiCo Mexico set the goal of having six plants with photovoltaic panels by the end of 2021. Today, four are already in Chinese Australia Phone Number List operation. plants located in the states of Baja California, Sonora and Jalisco. The other two plants will be operating in Nuevo León and Mexico City before the end of the year. With the installation of all the panels, the company will cover approximately 30,000 m2 on roofs and parking lots, among other areas; which is equivalent to four professional soccer fields. Acquisition of iRECs certificates (Internationally Recognized Instruments.
Through these certificates—which guarantee the renewable origin of electricity generation sources, specifically wind and solar—, PepsiCo Mexico purchases the rest of its renewable electricity. In this way, all the electrical energy that the company consumes is renewable, which represents an approximate reduction of 110,000 tons of CO2. The above is equivalent to 39 times the carbon dioxide captured by the Chapultepec Forest (or 4 million trees) in one year. In addition to this scheme, PepsiCo Mexico promotes other initiatives aimed at achieving the reduction of GHG emissions; for example, the optimization of energy use in its production processes, from manufacturing plants to its vehicle fleet. This work began in 2006 with programs such as Resource Conservation (ReCon), along with best practices for the administration and control of fuel use, as well as the use of alternative fuels such as biogas and hydrogen.
