The goal of this challenge is to deliver on the ethos of having the Humility to Co-create. Many companies across the planet, have and are implementing clean energy strategies, yet seldom reach out to see and compare how they are progressing. We believe many company strategies could be pragmatically enhanced, by learning from others and not repeating lessons learned from others. United Nations Sustainable Goals (SDG) 7 ‘Affordable and clean energy’ centers on ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy. As noted by the UN, around 13% of our global population are unable to access modern electricity, with 3 billion people depending on wood or coal for cooking or heating. We have a responsibility as global citizens to safeguard our world, for ourselves and future generations; a goal only achievable by diversifying our energy consumption, steering towards cleaner energies. As major influencers in the realm of energy and sustainability, how has your organization reimagined its clean energy strategy? This is a challenge aimed at sourcing and sharing real pragmatic demonstrable examples across organizations that are stepping up to the clean energy SDG challenge. How has your organization reimagined its clean energy strategy? How has your organization shifted its strategies to incorporate cleaner energy? How can your organizational experiences inspire and act as beacons to others?
