Renewable Energy Focus

We’re committed to playing our part in the fight against climate change and to running Guinness World Records (GWR) in the most ethical and sustainable way possible.

This policy details our focus on renewable and sustainable energy project collaborations, and it applies to energy companies and any other applicant involved in energy and fuel production.

Focus on Renewable Energy

GWR prioritises collaboration with energy companies that are actively involved in renewable energy projects, including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and other sustainable energy sources. We are committed to supporting initiatives that promote environmental sustainability and reduce dependence on non-renewable resources.

We will generally not verify records, provide services or license our brand to non-renewable energy projects. However, projects will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, provided that they include:

  • A significant reduction in emissions compared to existing practices.
  • An increase in energy efficiency or use of cleaner technologies.
  • A detailed transition plan outlining the shift towards renewable energy sources and sustainable practices.

Further collaboration with Energy Companies

In addition to renewable energy projects, we will consider providing services and brand licensing to energy companies for corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, sponsorship activations, and staff engagement projects and more, providing they no not contravene the terms of this policy.
