PremieRpet Leads Brazil's Pet Food Industry with Landmark Solar Power Deal

PremieRpet, Brazil's leading pet food company, has signed a landmark deal for solar power. The firm will become the first in its sector to run all its plants on renewable energy, thanks to a long-term supply contract with an unnamed commercial generation arm of Comerc Group.

PremieRpet's sustainability journey is impressive. It's already using reforested eucalyptus trees for heat and recycling rainwater. Now, it's taking a giant leap with solar power. The company has secured a deal to build the largest solar power plant in São Paulo, in Castilho. This plant will generate enough electricity to power all four of PremieRpet's factories.

The switch to solar is expected to significantly reduce PremieRpet's carbon footprint. The company estimates it will avoid emitting up to 16,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually. This is a substantial contribution to Brazil's renewable energy goals. PremieRpet's commitment to sustainability doesn't stop at energy. It's also the first company in Latin America to achieve LEED Gold Certification for an eco-responsible production facility. It promotes natural lighting and manages production residues responsibly.

PremieRpet's solar power deal is a significant milestone in its sustainability journey. The company is leading the way for Brazil's pet food industry in adopting renewable energy. With this move, PremieRpet is not only reducing its environmental impact but also setting a new standard for corporate responsibility.
