Located in the scenic Catskill Mountains, the solar project near
the Oak Hill site, which produces some of GSK Consumer Healthcare’s
iconic oral health brands including Sensodyne, Pronamel, and
parodontax for the US and Canadian markets, comprises over 17,000
modules with an estimated electricity generation capacity of 6.9 MW
DC. This installation is designed to generate electricity
equivalent to more than 70% of the Oak Hill site’s annual usage and
reduce its carbon footprint by 60%.
“The completion of this project marks a pivotal moment for us at
GSK Consumer Healthcare, as a continued step in the right direction
for enacting real change that reduces our environmental impact and
helps us deliver on our larger sustainability initiatives,” said
Mike Allen, Sustainability Lead Consumer Health Supply Chain, GSK
Consumer Healthcare. “The Oak Hill site is the 12th solar
investment project for GSK and our Consumer Healthcare business,
and we plan to implement additional major solar and wind energy
investments in the UK and US to set us on track for 100% renewable
electricity by 2025. We are thrilled to share news of this exciting
milestone that we’ve reached working together with our partners and
are committed and excited to continue building a more sustainable
future.”
As the designated off-taker of the clean energy generated at the
solar site, the completed project demonstrates GSK Consumer
Healthcare’s larger ongoing commitment to its sustainability goals
of reducing its Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 100% by 2030.
“In order to form a more sustainable world, we need to work
collaboratively with major corporations to implement
energy-efficient solutions. I’m so thankful that we were able to
work with an organization like GSK Consumer Healthcare, that has
set forth aggressive goals for its future and truly understands the
need to implement renewable technologies at a grand scale,” said
Pete Christakis, Senior Vice President, Ameresco.
