Achieving 100% carbon neutrality

Givaudan’s Taste & Wellbeing site in Pune, India, is the first site to receive energy from this solar park, further reducing its reliance on non-renewable energy sources. The solar park allowed Givaudan to achieve 100% renewable electricity by the end of 2024 for this Pune site.

The off-site solar park − inaugurated in April 2024 − was developed in collaboration with a partner specialising in providing end-to-end solar power solutions, including project development, financing, construction, and operations. Under this collaboration, an arrangement through which multiple companies come together to collectively own and operate a renewable energy project, the solar park will operate for 10 years initially, after which we will reevaluate the project.

With our commitment to renewable energy extending beyond onsite solar power, off-site solar power initiatives such as these allow us to rapidly approach our goal of 100% renewable electricity.
