Celebrating Earth Day: Renewable energy for our world

Today is Earth Day and the theme this year is ‘Our Power, Our Planet’ which focuses on “harnessing renewable energy”. At Lightsource bp, this greatly resonates with us as we are focused on safely delivering large-scale renewable energy projects to create sustainable value for our people, partners and planet.

We are proud of the impact we have made as a company – having developed over 11.5GW of renewable energy, operating across three global regions, all while supporting sustainable development across our projects.

Responsible development is at the heart of our approach—delivering renewable energy solutions while seeking to enhance ecosystems, local economies and progressing a sustainable supply chain. For us, sustainability isn’t just a corporate initiative – it is at the core of everything we do and is fundamental to how we develop, build and operate renewable energy projects.

Environmental stewardship, decarbonisation, biodiversity and agrivoltaics

• Delivering biodiversity net gains on our qualifying solar sites through tailored management plans
• Integrating agrivoltaics to combine solar and farming where appropriate
• Committing to science-based targets to decarbonise our own operations and supply chain
• Circularity: Responsible waste management

Responsible procurement

• Driving responsible sourcing across our global supply chain
• Partnering with suppliers committed to responsible and environmental best practices
• Supporting economic development through local partnerships and job creation

Community and social impact

• Open and transparent engagement with local communities
• Consideration of local community priorities through the development lifecycle of a project
• Promoting safety, well-being and responsible supply chains

We strive to go beyond business as usual to enhance ecosystems and biodiversity and aim to make a positive impact for both communities and the environment.

This Earth Day, we are giving you a peek into what it can look, and sound like on a solar farm – you may be surprised how peaceful it can be.
