23 ACCELERATING IMPACT Zeroing in on Climate Our actions to decrease our emissions and improve our electricity consumption ladder up to our larger commitment to be carbon neutral by 2040. This work aligns with our commitments to global industry movements, including The Climate Pledge and RE100—groups calling for all industrial sectors to do their part to slow the pace of climate change. The path to Net-Zero continues to factor into our business decisions as we find ways to deliver high- quality products to customers in increasing volumes while remaining careful stewards of the environment. Relying on Renewables We are moving toward greater reliance on renewables by increasing our use of wind and solar power across our operations. We are well on our way to achieving our goal of 100% renewable electricity by 2040. In 2019, we began using 100% renewable electricity in the U.K. In 2020, we became the first metal packaging manufacturer to activate renewable electricity in 100% of its U.S. and Canadian beverage can plants. In 2021, we also took steps to increase the amount of renewable energy our Mexican beverage can operations utilized.
