Contributing sentiments towards policy:

77% : The intermittency of wind and solar power means a big part of the challenge is building out enough batteries to store renewable energy to cover gaps in generation, when there is no wind or sun.
64% : Apple, iPhone manufacturer Foxconn Technology Co. and H&M were all noted for helping their suppliers to access renewable energy either with financial support, advice or connecting deals.
63% : The companies have promised that 100% of their energy consumption will be matched with the renewable energy generation from local installations by 2030.
55% : For instance, a company that has a power-purchase agreement with a wind park isn't actually using renewable energy from the farm on windless days -- unless it is coming from a battery.
52% : The retailer has worked with suppliers to reduce packaging waste and to adopt farming practices that sequester greenhouse gases, as well as helping them access renewable energy.
