Danish blade manufacturer LM Wind Power has unveiled plans to become carbon neutral by 2018.
The company said it will source 100% of electricity from renewable sources during 2017 to power its manufacturing activities.
It also plans to reduce carbon emissions by implementing “operational efficiencies” and offsetting remaining emissions “through carbon credits and building low carbon sustainable development”.
Chief executive Marc de Jong said: “Our customers, our host governments, the communities where we operate and above all our employees are all behind us in this ambitious plan.
“When we signed the UN Global Compact in 2010, we argued that LM Wind Power might be the greenest company in the world with more than 20% of all turbines worldwide flying LM blades. But we also asked some tough questions – are we really green enough? It’s a paradox that the industry has not addressed this more coherently before.”
