MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Meyers, a Minnesota company that designs and produces innovative packaging, labeling, and retail display solutions for global brands, recently learned through a third-party audit that there was a shortfall in its 2021 Renewable Electricity Data. The review by Green2Sustainable (G2S) uncovered a large discrepancy between the data in Meyers' utility bills and its 2021 Annual Sustainability Report. Here's how they navigated the complicated process to discover and correct the difference, and how other businesses can avoid a similar situation.

  • Meyers continues to work with local utility Xcel Energy to maximize the amount of renewable electricity delivered locally and minimize the purchase of third-party RECs.
