The Lego Group announced this week its global operations are running on 100% clean energy three years ahead of schedule.

It reflects the renewable energy investments made by the Danish giant in recent years, including the Burbo Bank Extension wind farm – off the coast of England – which has the world’s largest turbines.

“We work to leave a positive impact on the planet and I am truly excited about the inauguration of the Burbo Bank Extension wind farm. This development means we have now reached the 100% renewable energy milestone three years ahead of target. Together with our partners, we intend to continue investing in renewable energy to help create a better future for the builders of tomorrow,” said Bali Padda, CEO of the LEGO Group.
