Crystal International Group Limited is expediting its renewable energy transition across global operations through a combination of onsite rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, green electricity purchases, and International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs). These measures advance the Group’s Crystal Sustainability Vision 2030 and Net Zero 2050 ambition. To date, 3 intimate factories in Vietnam, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka achieved 100% renewable electricity coverage on a market-based greenhouse gas accounting basis.
In addition to its renewable energy portfolio with 24.6 MW of installed solar PV capacity in the operating countries, Crystal International has been actively sourcing I-RECs and off-site green electricity, to reduce carbon emissions from purchased electricity on a market-based basis. The initiative is in line with the growing customer expectations. The procurement of I-RECs reflects the Group’s practical and progressive approach to accelerating renewable electricity use across complex manufacturing supply chains.
Building on the achievement of 3 factories in Vietnam, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka attaining 100% renewable electricity coverage on a market-based greenhouse gas accounting basis in 2025, Crystal International is continually working with all factories to scale up renewable energy adoption, by purchasing green electricity and I-RECs matched with their grid electricity consumption. Since 2025, the Group has procured 85,600 MWh of I-RECs and green electricity, offsetting 45,200 tCO2e. The Group aims to maximise renewable electricity coverage by 2030.
“Transitioning to renewable electricity requires both immediate action and long-term system transformation. While we continue to invest in on-site solar PV, market-based instruments such as I-RECs and green electricity purchase enable us to support renewable electricity generation while expanding access to clean energy solutions,” said Catherine Chiu, Vice President – Corporate Quality & Sustainability at Crystal International.
Crystal International’s ongoing net zero roadmap comprises a combination of strategies focusing on renewable energy, productivity enhancement, energy efficiency and fuel switching. The Group remains committed to creating long-term value while contributing to global climate actions through continued investment in renewable energy and low-carbon manufacturing.
