Ren’s Motto: Good Energy
Our Mission is to change the world by unlocking good energy
What does Ren mean?
Ren means "co-humanity" or "humaneness." It's the virtue of altruism, or being
a good human. Ren is both who we are, and who we strive to be. We do not take
our beautiful planet for granted, and must continuously work together to make
it a better world for future generations. We believe in the power of spreading
good energy to the world, both through our everyday engagements and through
the renewable energy projects we help create.
We are Ren.
What do we do?
Ren is a SaaS platform that enables companies with global supply chains to
source the cleanest energy possible. Ren solves the complex challenges
associated with sourcing renewable energy to cover the massive emissions from
corporations. This unlocks cost savings and the ability to meet carbon
commitments on time.
Thousands of corporations have pledged to cut their carbon emissions, creating
a massive new demand for renewable development. Each customer we serve has the
energy needs and emissions equivalent to entire countries. With renewables
often already the lowest-cost source of new energy generation, Ren is at the
forefront of the green transition.
We are passionate about renewables, sustainability, our clients, and our
people. Our team is a diverse and fiercely optimistic group of individuals
that are highly motivated to invest in our planet’s future and lead the
transition to clean energy for all.
Join us as we reduce the carbon footprint of every corporation we touch and
impact our world in a way you might not have thought possible.
