Learning Level: 101: Applies to those with limited experience of the topic and seeking foundational understanding of the content.
Many corporate sustainability teams are looking for ways to achieve their ambitious sustainability goals and initiatives. Some companies look to meet their goals by building onsite or offsite solar systems, others by using PPAs or virtual PPAs, some make tax credit investments through the ITC, and some purchase SRECs. There is no standard way of setting, achieving, and tracking sustainability goals and, often, progress is hard to measure. On this panel, speakers will discuss various pathways to meeting corporate sustainability targets, industry & corporate partnerships, and how policies, like the IRA, are shaping how corporates consider clean energy’s role in meeting their goals.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the different pathways available to corporations for meeting their sustainability goals.
  • Explore industry and corporate partnerships in the context of achieving sustainability targets. Learn about successful collaborations between corporations and industry partners in implementing sustainable initiatives
  • Examine the influence of policies like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on corporate consideration of clean energy in meeting sustainability goals
