Our client, a global leader in coatings and materials, serves customers in industries worldwide and is dedicated to reducing its environmental impact. With operations across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, their sustainability goals include cutting Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% and increasing renewable electricity to cover 50% of their total usage.
Our client, a global leader in coatings and materials, was in the active phase of their sustainability journey, aiming to achieve significant targets, including reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% and increasing renewable electricity use to 50% of total consumption. To support these goals, they issued an RFP for an on-site solar installation, focusing on minimizing any operational disruption.
ESA was selected to lead this project. Through collaborative planning, ESA educated the client’s team on the essential steps for their first solar installation, from permitting to interconnection. Together, they navigated unique challenges, ultimately delivering a project that incorporated carports and rooftops, demonstrating diverse technologies. This installation now serves as a pilot within their portfolio, supporting their renewable energy ambitions without impacting daily operations and laying the groundwork for future renewable projects. operations.
The successful implementation of this first solar project marked a major milestone in the client’s sustainability journey. With no disruption to operations, the project delivered immediate environmental and financial benefits while showcasing the versatility of on-site solar through both carport and rooftop installations. More importantly, it now serves as a blueprint for scaling renewable energy across their global portfolio. By partnering with ESA, the client not only met a critical objective but also built internal knowledge, confidence, and momentum to advance their long-term climate goals with clarity and impact.
