RUN Sunrun Inc

Sunrun (Nasdaq: RUN), the nation’s leading provider of clean energy as a subscription service, announced today that its near and long-term greenhouse gas emissions reductions targets have been assessed and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The SBTi has also verified Sunrun’s net-zero science-based target by 2050.

The SBTi is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis. Sunrun’s net-zero target is the most ambitious designation available through the SBTi process.

“We know urgent action is needed to cut global emissions, and we are proud to have Sunrun’s overall net-zero target validated as in line with the climate science with the SBTi,” said Sunrun CEO Mary Powell. “These targets go through careful review, and Sunrun is committed to prioritizing our aggressive emission-reduction targets as we help households across the country adopt a clean energy lifestyle with home solar and storage.”
