28,990.78 MMBtu

Clean and renewable energy sources

Clean and renewable electricity

Clean and renewable electricity (report kilowatt-hours):
kWh MMBtu
Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) 0 Kilowatt-hours 0 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) 12,431.40 Kilowatt-hours 42.42 MMBtu

A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
---

A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
In the figures reported above, we considered the energy produced by photovoltaic solar panels in Barcelona Campus.
IESE has a platform called "indoor clima" where it records this information.

Clean and renewable thermal energy (report MMBtu):
MMBtu
Clean and renewable stationary fuels used on-site to generate thermal energy 0 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water from certified/verified clean and renewable sources 0 MMBtu

Unbundled renewable energy products

Unbundled renewable energy products (report kWh):
kWh MMBtu
Purchased RECs, GOs, I-RECs or equivalent unbundled renewable energy products certified by a third party 6,026,050.70 Kilowatt-hours 20,560.88 MMBtu

A brief description of the unbundled renewable energy products:
In the case of the Barcelona and Madrid campuses, IESE requested Guarantees of Origin (GdO) from the electricity supplier, as proof that the electricity consumed was generated from renewable energy sources.
The entity responsible for issuing and managing the Guarantees of Origin in the national territory (Spain) is the National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC).
The information on GdO's acquired has been verified by the company "Grup Carles" (responsible for calculating the Carbon Footprint of IESE). Additionally, as documented in the credit OP-1, the calculation of the Carbon Footprint was verified by an external company (SGS Tecnos), which also verified the existence of GdO's.
