Capgemini and Eneco, a group of companies active in the field of renewable energy and innovation, energy trade and retail, have unveiled a commitment to reduce Eneco’s CO2 emissions by one megaton through joint initiatives by 2030.
This commitment is part of a broader 10-year agreement between Capgemini and Eneco to accelerate Eneco’s transition towards sustainable energy, and help meet its ambition of becoming carbon-neutral by 2035.
The 2030 target is based on the shared conviction of both Eneco and Capgemini that a sustainable future is achievable through collaboration with all stakeholders, including customers, strategic partners, and suppliers. Both companies will explore the impact of engineering, digital, data and AI, business technology and platforms on reducing scope 1, 2 and 3 CO2 emissions.
