The agreement, a **10-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)**, will provide the **Buñuel plant** in the autonomous community of Navarra with **90 gigawatt hours per year of renewable electricity from ACCIONA Energía’s renewable facilities in Spain.** This will **save** the paper group **12,870** **metric tons of CO2 emissions per year**. The agreement provides for the supply of electricity with **100% renewable origin accreditation certified** by Spain’s National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC), as well as **access to ACCIONA Energía’s GREENCHAIN® application**, a platform based on blockchain technology that allows the renewable origin of energy to be tracked in real-time. Using this tool, Sofidel will know which ACCIONA Energía production plant and which renewable source supplied each MW to its plant. “*In line with its path toward a low-carbon economy, Sofidel is pursuing a multi-option energy procurement policy, linked to the different legislative, infrastructural and environmental contexts in which it operates*” explains **Riccardo Balducci, Sofidel Energy & Environment Director***.* “*The signing of the PPA with ACCIONA Energía fits into this pattern and represents a decisive step toward achieving our goals.*” **Javier Montes, Commercial Director from** **ACCIONA Energía,** comments**:** “*PPAs represent a valuable ally for companies committed to energy transition and emissions abatement*. *With this agreement, ACCIONA Energía consolidates its partnership with Sofidel and helps support the Group in achieving its sustainability goals.*” Sofidel’s 2030 CO2 emission reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with the reductions needed in order to limit global warming to well below 2°C under the Paris Agreement. These objectives include a **40% reduction in Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 CO2 emissions in relation to its suppliers’ pulp production activities**;in addition to a further objective of a **24% reduction in Scope 3 CO2 emissions per metric ton of paper.** A commitment to fight climate change that has enabled Sofidel to once again, in2022, rank **in the Leadership band of the Climate Change rating of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)**,among the leading independent international organizations measuring environmental performance, and obtained for the second consecutive year the **Platinum recognition from EcoVadis for its approach to sustainability confirming its place among the top 1% of companies in its sector worldwide**. **About The Sofidel Group** The Sofidel Group, a privately held company owned by the Stefani and Lazzareschi families, is a world leader in the manufacture of paper for hygienic and domestic use.
