Widex receives the WindMade label

Widex is among a group of pioneering enterprises to receive the newly-established WindMade label – the first global consumer label for companies that use wind energy. This was announced today at a launch event in New York, during which the names of the WindMade Pioneers were unveiled.

The new label, which is backed by the UN Global Compact, requires participating companies to obtain at least 25% of their electricity from wind power. In receiving the label, Widex joins a select group of major companies who have expressed their commitment to renewable energy.

“These companies are at the forefront of the global sustainability movement” says Henrik Kuffner, WindMade’s CEO.

Widex procures its energy from a wind turbine at the site of its new global headquarters in Denmark. The turbine already covers 85% of the headquarters’ energy needs, and is expected to cover 100% in the future – a percentage that greatly exceeds the basic requirements for joining the WindMade programme, and which will be reflected in the percentage of wind energy indicated on Widex’ WindMade label.
