DECIEM introduces renewable energy certificates for employees

As many companies look at customer-facing initiatives to highlight sustainability, DECIEM is approaching its commitment to sustainability from the inside out with practices that impact people - its employees, as well as customers.

DECIEM recognises that the majority of its workers have been working from home since the beginning of the pandemic where renewable energy sources aren’t the primary source. To offset the carbon emissions for its employees, DECIEM has purchased Renewable Energy Certificates, injecting the grid with an equivalent amount of renewable power used since it closed its offices in March 2020.

“Our goal is to strengthen our commitment to the Earth by expanding our renewable energy use and bringing our DECIEM family on our climate change mitigation journey,” said DECIEM senior director of sustainability & social impact, Jackie Kankam. “Using renewable energy and renewable energy credits is an important step to ensure we are relying less and less on traditional energy sources and hugging the Earth a little tighter.”
