Navitas Green Solutions Pvt Ltd, a leading solar module manufacturer, has announced CARBON NEUTRALITY for CY 2021. It has received a “Silver” Badge from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on climate reporting under the ‘Climate Neutral Now’ initiative for outstanding accomplishment in managing carbon emissions.
In accordance with UN targets and Nationally Determined Contribution(NDC), Navitas Solar specialises in manufacturing high-efficiency mono and polycrystalline solar modules ranging from 5 Watts to 600 Watts per panel, with a total installed capacity of 500 MW p.a. and expanding to 3 GW in coming years. Navitas Solar has been providing sustainable forms of energy solutions for a decade.
Navitas Solar had appointed a third-party consultant with the task of carrying out the assessment of GHG emissions, defining a methodology and calculation approach to be adopted and implementing monitoring procedures. It validated that the calculations met the specifications of the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard and the GHG protocol based on the assessment. In line with this, the consultant declared that Navitas Solar has bought carbon credits to offset the same amount of emissions and has achieved Carbon Neutrality for the calendar year 2021. After completing this first milestone in the field, Navitas Solar pledges to become fully carbon neutral by 2023 and achieve Net Zero status by 2030.
Commenting on the achievement, Vineet Mittal, Co-Founder and Director of Navitas Solar, said, “We are elated to achieve UNFCCC’s Badge for carbon neutrality for 2021. Navitas Solar has always endeavoured to establish a sustainable organisation and will keep offering valuable solutions to support the worldwide clean energy movement.
