SodaStream Moving to 100% Renewable Energy With New Partner

Israeli sparkling water brand SodaStream is transitioning to more sustainable production in its partnership with global renewable energy platform Enlight Renewable Energy. 

SodaStream, a PepsiCo subsidiary that allows users to create personalized sparkling beverages at home, currently operates in 48 countries worldwide. 

In 2022, the startup eliminated approximately 5 billion single-use plastic bottles in its efforts to reduce waste. 

In the 15-year agreement with Enlight, SodaStream aims to continue reducing its carbon footprint by moving to 100% renewable energy at all of its global production sites in Israel by the beginning of 2024, as well as achieve net-zero emissions by 2040.

Enlight, founded in 2008 and headquartered in the central Israeli city of Rosh Ha’ayin, operates utility-scale renewable energy projects in the United States, Israel, and nine European countries. 

“The new strategic partnership with Enlight, a company that leads the transition to renewable energies, will allow SodaStream to take another step toward the goal we have set – a 100% renewable energy transition in all of our production sites around the world, as part of a global strategy to preserve the environment, reduce the carbon footprint, and work toward a sustainable world,” said Eyal Shohat, CEO at SodaStream International. 

“SodaStream is one of the pioneers that chose to join Enlight in signing a PPA, seeking to both lower their energy costs and accelerate their transition to net-zero emissions,” said Gilad Yavetz, co-founder and CEO of Enlight Renewable Energy. 

“This trend is only expected to strengthen, benefiting our customers while also increasing Enlight’s return on its projects.”
