Solar Electricity - CSR Minute: Brown-Forman Publishes Case Study on Stakeholder Dialogue




Brown-Forman has published its third corporate responsibility report. It includes a case study on the company's recent Stakeholder Dialogue session, at which experts and advocates met to share ideas about how Brown-Forman can positively influence consumer behaviors on responsible alcohol consumption. The event was the first of its kind in the beverage alcohol industry. Brown-Forman produces Jack Daniel's, Southern Comfort, Finlandia, Korbel, and other quality alcohol brands. Thames Water is planning to become Britain's largest producer and industrial user of solar power. The company has partnered with Ennoviga Solar to install solar panels in three locations around London that will provide an annual output of more than 4500 megawatt hours of electricity, enough to run 1000 homes. Ennoviga Solar will maintain the panels and repay the 7 million pound—$11 ½ million—investment by selling the clean electricity to the water company. Thames Water estimates the initiative will cut 100000 pounds— $164000—off its annual energy bill. For more information on these and other stories, go to thecsrminute.com
