From “100% Renewable” to Real-World Impact: Redefining Corporate Clean Energy Leadership

What happens when the most credible clean energy strategies no longer align with “100% renewable” claims? How should sustainability teams rethink success as expectations around additionality, grid impact, and Scope 2 credibility continue to rise?

This interactive session equips corporate sustainability leaders with a practical framework for navigating the shift from coverage-based renewable claims to impact-driven procurement as standards evolve. Through real-world examples and emerging best practices, participants will explore how companies are reallocating budgets from low-cost, spot-market RECs toward project-backed contracts, long-term procurement structures, and High-Impact RECs that enable new renewable generation. The discussion will focus on how to educate stakeholders, communicate tradeoffs, and gain buy-in for new approaches —leaving attendees with clear strategies to strengthen Scope 2 outcomes while delivering real-world climate impact.
