Google says it will spend US$150 million on renewable energy in regions where its products are manufactured, in a move it hopes will galvanise a further US$1.5 billion of investment.
The news was revealed by Anna Meegan, head of consumer hardware sustainability, in a blog post earlier this week. Details of the investment timeline and information about which “manufacturing communities” stand to benefit were not disclosed.
The move comes just weeks after the tech behemoth announced it had secured a raft of 1.6GW global renewable energy deals, in what it claims is “the largest corporate purchase in history.”
