  Campaign:  [CSR Blogs](/news/campaign/csr-blogs) [Posted by Antonio Pasolini](http://www.justmeans.com/Global-Brands-Tap-Wind-Power-Boost-Sustainability/50754.html)

Last month a coalition of organizations and companies launched in Brussels a technical standard for the first global consumer label for those purchasing wind power and other types of alternative energy. [WindMade](http://www.windmade.org/) was conceived with support from the UN Global Compact, WWF, Vestas Wind Systems, the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), the LEGO Group, Bloomberg and PricewaterhouseCoopers, among other companies.  
  
  
  
Now, other major global companies have joined the initiative, including Motorola Mobility, Deutsche Bank, Bloomberg, Method and BD (Becton, Dickinson and Co.). They have procured or have pledged to procure at least 25 percent of their operations' power consumption from wind energy. The announcement was madeduring a global launch in New York.  
  
  
  
Companies that join WindMade can communicate the share of wind power and other renewable sources as part of the overall power demand of their operations. The overall goal is to drive demand in wind power, boost investment in clean energy and grow the[ alternative energy](http://www.energyrefuge.com/) market.
