Mölnlycke Health Care reaches 100% renewable electricity target
Mölnlycke, a world leading MedTech company, has secured 100% renewable electricity for all its established and new manufacturing sites and its headquarters, reaching its first near-term SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative)-validated target.
Gothenburg, Sweden. 28 January 2025. “This is a significant milestone in Mölnlycke’s commitment to halving Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030” said Caterina Camerani, VP Sustainability at Mölnlycke. “It propels us towards our vision of building a sustainable healthcare manufacturing ecosystem.”
A major enabler in reaching the goal was signing two virtual Power Purchase Agreements (vPPAs) for the regions where the company has the highest manufacturing footprint. To cover electricity consumption for the sites in the European Union, Mölnlycke signed a long-term vPPA committing to purchasing renewable electricity generated in Mutkalampi, the largest wind farm in Finland. The three manufacturing plants in Malaysia will handle their renewable electricity needs through a similar vPPA from a newly established solar power plant in Bukit Kayu Hitam, Malaysia.
In addition, Mölnlycke continues to invest in on-site generation of solar energy with manufacturing sites in Malaysia and the UK having completed the installation of rooftop solar panels and the installation on factories in Thailand ongoing.
The remaining electricity consumption needs for the established manufacturing sites in Thailand, the UK and the US, as well as the newly established plant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are met through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). As stated in the near-term goal validated by SBTi, Mölnlycke will continue active sourcing of renewable electricity through 2030.
