Triple Pundit: Tribally-Owned Seneca Environmental Makes First-of-Its-Kind Renewable Energy Deal With Pinterest
Seneca Environmental is on a mission to establish equitable, Earth-healing climate solutions. Selling a set of international renewable energy certificates to the social media platform Pinterest is one of the most recent steps in that journey, and it marks the first sale of its kind between a tribally-owned enterprise and a global tech company.
Owned by the Seneca Nation, the renewable energy development and investment company helps corporations reach their climate goals while helping Native communities build and invest in renewables. Its profits directly support the needs of members of the Seneca Nation in the Western New York region.
The renewable energy certificates (RECs) Pinterest purchased span 15 countries and will offset energy use in the tech company’s offices as part of its goal to run the buildings on 100 percent renewable energy.
