Powering a safe and sustainable future with clean energy

Renewable energy is derived from natural resources that are replenished on a human timescale, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Common renewable energy sources include tidal and wave, solar, wind, hydropower, biomass and geothermal energy. These sources are vital to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.

One of the human activities contributing to the current rise on global temperatures is the use of fossil fuels. Renewable energy is considered environmentally friendly because it produces little, or no greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in reducing human's dependence on non-renewable resources and environmental impact.

To reduce the impact of climate change and support global sustainability goals environmentally sustainable energy is pivotal. This means considerations are needed in addressing its impacts on ecosystems. Care planning and managing renewable energy projects, as well as monitoring data, is vital to balance the need for clean energy with preservation of biodiversity and natural habitats.

ESG investment is when a company will consider how they impact society, the environment and how its governed when making investment decisions.

Here are some examples of potential ESG factors companies may consider including in a sustainability report:

• Environmental: energy efficiency, ecological footprint, biodiversity protection, environmental compliance and more.

• Social: diversity & inclusivity, human rights & modern slavery, health & safety, wellbeing, culture, training & development and more.

• Governance: board diversity, shareholder rights, anti-corruption policies, whistle-blower protection, internal controls, corporate accountability and more.

ESG investing can combat biodiversity losses by directing capital towards companies and projects that prioritise implementing sustainability and emission reduction in the energy sector.

We monitor and provide the data and services needed on sustainable energy projects and we can support ecosystem services and renewable energy projects around the world. For example, we support green energy wind projects using geo-data and potential future wind turbine power stations.  This support is needed to achieve net-zero target set by the United Nation.
