Sustainability stories

Read commentary, news, and interviews from our frontline efforts to create a world that runs entirely on green energy

The build-out of renewable energy is the critical lever in how we take climate action. And the green build-out, with sustainability at its heart, holds unprecedented opportunities to create growth in economies, revitalise local communities, and have a net-positive impact on biodiversity. We're hard at work to realize this vision. And while we don't have all the answers, we're keen to share what we learn and discover.
