Report: “Vaisala will reach the [100% renewable energy by] 2020 target by working together with local energy supplier and by continuing to produce some of its own renewable energy. The company’s headquarters and main production facility in Vantaa, Finland is already a prime example of sustainable manufacturing. The site has achieved its zero-waste to landfill target already a few years ago, and has onsite solar and geothermal energy production. Today, the entire site is powered 100% by renewables using wind power from the local energy supplier, Vantaa Energy” (see Michelle Friese, “Vaisala commits to 100% renewable energy by 2020”, Windpower Engineering & Development, 8 September 2015: http://www.windpowerengineering.com/featured/business-news-projects/vaisala-commits-to-100-renewable-energy-by-2020/ ).
