TERREPOWER’s 2025 Sustainability Report: A Commitment to Decarbonization and Resource Efficiency

On May 19, 2026, TERREPOWER, formerly known as BBB Industries, unveiled its 2025 Corporate Responsibility Report, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing efforts towards sustainable manufacturing. Unlike typical corporate reports, this document uniquely showcases tangible progress in three critical areas: emissions avoidance, resource efficiency, and circular production. The report conveys how TERREPOWER not only mitigates environmental impacts but also reinforces its economic viability by helping customers lessen their carbon footprints and enhance supply chain resilience while advancing towards a circular economy.

Duncan Gillis, CEO of TERREPOWER, emphasized the company's holistic approach to sustainability by saying, "Sustainability isn’t just an add-on to our business; it’s embedded within our operations and crucial to our decision-making process. In 2025, our global teams turned this commitment into significant and measurable impacts while enhancing transparency, operational resilience, and innovation capability."

Scaling Up Sustainable Manufacturing

In 2025, TERREPOWER solidified its position as the world’s largest sustainable manufacturer by volume. A notable increase in core recovery rates allowed for greater material reuse compared to the previous year, leading to the avoidance of over 204,000 tons of CO₂ emissions. This remarkable figure equates to the carbon sequestered by approximately 3 million trees and prevents the landfill disposal of thousands of truckloads of waste.

Furthermore, the company invested in innovative circular solutions like advanced remanufacturing of electric vehicle batteries and energy storage systems at its technology center in Barcelona. Here, second-life battery systems can reduce production emissions by over 80%, maintaining a flow of essential materials in circulation.

Resource management remained a top priority in 2025, producing considerable results. Achievements included:

• - Diverting 170 million pounds of waste from landfills through material recovery.
• - Recycling over 380,000 gallons of water via new greywater reuse systems and air conditioning condensate at the Reynosa campus in Mexico.
• - Treating 1.5 million gallons of water on-site through clarification systems, which eliminated emissions associated with hauling wastewater off-site.
• - Implementing a circular packaging initiative that reused over 8 million boxes in a major distribution center in Mexico.

These efficiencies not only alleviated pressure on local resources but also translated into tangible cost savings.

Advancing Decarbonization Across Operations

In 2025, TERREPOWER made strides to enhance its decarbonization trajectory through targeted initiatives worldwide. Highlights included:

• - A 9% reduction in Scope 2 emissions, driven by cleaner electricity sourcing and market-based instruments.
• - A strategic supplier shift in Reynosa that transitioned manufacturing electricity to a portfolio comprised of 13.9% renewable energy, thereby curbing emissions in one of the company’s most production-intensive regions.
• - Achieving 100% compensation of electricity consumption for one of TERREPOWER’s most carbon-intensive European operations.
• - Continued efforts transitioned from propane to natural gas, which helped stabilize Scope 1 emissions despite operational growth.

The company also focused on "Scope 4" avoided emissions, recognizing the pollution mitigated when clients opt for sustainably produced alternatives rather than conventional high-carbon production.

A Culture of Responsibility and Continuous Improvement

Across all operations, employee-led initiatives translate sustainability goals into daily actions and values. From water conservation efforts to expanded recycling programs and off-grid solar installations worldwide, TERREPOWER’s endeavors reflect the belief that sustainability, innovation, and profitability can advance simultaneously.

The company aligns its sustainability reporting with key frameworks, including SASB and TCFD, and actively participates in evolving European regulations such as CBAM and EUDR. In 2025, TERREPOWER notably improved its EcoVadis sustainability score by 15% year-on-year, highlighting ongoing progress in strengthening corporate governance, transparency, and sustainability practices.

The 2025 report outlines TERREPOWER’s priorities for the future, emphasizing renewable energy adoption, accelerated emission reductions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, increased reuse, and the continued integration of sustainability into operational decision-making.
