    Yesterday, our Director of Sustainability, Tom Salisbury, joined leading Sustainability Executives and Energy Procurement Managers at the Energy and Sustainability Leadership Forum, to talk all things #NetZero.The event centred on empowering innovation and action in #sustainability strategy, with Tom participating in the roundtable on clean power. The session explored how companies are using Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and other innovative tools to accelerate #decarbonisation and achieve ambitious climate targets, driving environmental and business value across their operations.Our first Virtual Power Purchase Agreement with Recurrent Energy, announced last year, brings us closer to our long-term target to achieve 75% renewable electricity by 2030, as we look to drive a cleaner, more sustainable world.Thank you to everyone who joined the roundtable!
