AkijBashir Group has become the first Bangladeshi company to join RE100, a global corporate initiative bringing together businesses committed to powering their operations with 100% renewable electricity.
Led by the international non-profit Climate Group, RE100 has more than 400 corporate members worldwide. Members commit to sourcing 100% renewable electricity by 2050 at the latest and report their progress annually against the initiative’s technical criteria.
For AkijBashir Group, joining RE100 provides a global framework to make its renewable-energy transition more structured, measurable and transparent.
The commitment builds on the Group’s existing investments in solar power, energy efficiency, waste-heat recovery and resource conservation across its manufacturing operations.
The Group has developed around 90MW of solar generation capacity across its particle board, ceramics, glass and other facilities and plans to expand its renewable-energy portfolio further.
