<\/a><\/p>\nEDP Renewables, a leading renewable energy player, has implemented a new global awareness campaign through its holding EDP group, which aims to enhance the importance of greater collaboration in protecting the planet and its resources, threatened by one of the most significant challenges of our time – climate change.<\/p>\n
Through an aspirational narrative, based on the transformative experience that astronauts report when they observe planet Earth on their missions (the “Overview Effect”), six men and women from different countries are summoned by EDP to contemplate planet Earth from space, reminding us of its beauty and the importance of global collaboration to ensure its sustainability. The astronauts are on the moon and together, make an ode to the planet to the tune of Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World”.<\/p>\n
As inspiration for the campaign, EDP uses a famous and impactful quote from the Nobel Prize award winner Jos\u00e9 Saramago: “You have to leave the island to see the island”, recalling how we often take the sustainability of the planet for granted and that we need to gain new perspectives to find solutions collectively that respond unequivocally to the climate emergency. The key message of this corporate campaign is “United for a wonderful world”. You can see the campaign here<\/a>.<\/p>\n “The current context has made climate emergency undeniable, and the transition to renewable energy sources plays a critical role in protecting the planet. This issue has become increasingly relevant in international forums and requires full global collaboration. EDP recently reinforced its commitment to lead the energy transition and is proud to see its ambition recognized by entities such as the United Nations. Yet the planet calls for greater joint action. Nations, governments, families, and companies must come together for the future of our planet,” says Vera Pinto Pereira, EDP\u2019s Executive board member<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The campaign is signed by Havas and produced by Krypton. The choice of the astronauts\u2019 various nationalities also represents the globality of EDP\u2019s footprint. The company is present today with renewable projects and more than 13,000 employees in Europe, North America, Latin America, and APAC.<\/p>\n In addition to the main film, which be broadcast through international media such as the Financial Times, Euronews, Bloomberg, and CNBC, among others, on television and social media, EDP created five additional spots with images of renewable projects installed in different key markets where the company is present.<\/p>\n All these projects demonstrate EDP’s three-decade commitment to renewable energies and its commitment to the planet. A strategy reinforced in the Business Plan presented in March foresees a global investment of 25 billion euros in the energy transition.<\/p>\n By committing to being 100% green by 2030, EDP is anticipating important decarbonization targets and helping to accelerate the energy transition. The company aims to use only renewable energy sources by the decade’s end. It has been working to bring more and more institutions, customers, and partners into this transition.<\/p>\n
