UNILEVER CANADA'S BIG SWITCH TO RENEWABLE ENERGY

摘要

Leading consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturer and brand-owner Unilever Canada has signed an agreement with alternative energy provider Bullfrog Power to supply all of its Ontario-based manufacturing facilities with renewable electricity harvested from wind and environmentally-friendly hydro plants certified as "low impact" electricity generators by the EcoLogo program administered by Environment Canada. Estimated at about 59,000 mWh (megawatt hours) of electricity, the deal makes Unilever Canada the country's largest commercial purchaser of renewable energy, according to its vice-president of legal and external affairs Tohn Coyne.
