Have you changed or strenghtened your goals
Progress towards the goals	RE100 has grown from 13 companies in 2014 to 87 members as of January 2017. Together they are creating demand for over 107 TWh of renewable electricity. There are now several members based in India and China, and a number of companies from heavy industry such as automobile and cement manufacturing. RE100 is providing a series of knowledge-sharing and profiling opportunities for members. RE100 is demonstrating the business case for renewable power and has worked to influence EU policy to help companies access renewable energy in Europe.
How are you tracking progress of your initiative	Members are encouraged to report their electricity and renewable electricity use on an annual basis to CDP. Progress towards RE100 goals is tracked and reported in the RE100 Annual Report: http://there100.org/reports-briefings.
Available reporting	Company data is made available in the RE100 Annual Report, http://there100.org/reports-briefings, including progress towards achieving 100% renewable power and the different approaches towards renewables that companies are taking. Company achievements are published as news stories on both the RE100 website and The Climate Group website, and included in the monthly RE100 e-newsletter that is sent to both campaign participants as well as prospect companies and partner organizations. Stories are shared on both the RE100 and The Climate Group Twitter handles, with more than 3,000 and 100,000 followers respectively.

 |Business organisations=An ever increasing number of RE100 members. For the latest visit http://re100.org/companies.
 |Have only national states as participators=No
-|Short and long-time objectives=By 2020 it will be the ‘norm’ for all businesses to set a 100% renewable power goal. 1000 of the world’s most influential companies will have made a public commitment to 100% renewable power, joined RE100 and be demonstrating progress towards this goal. These 1000 companies will have influenced a further 500,000 companies to set 100% renewable targets.

-|Roadmap and work plan=Our RE100 strategy sets targets for the number of companies to be recruited to the campaign on an annual basis. In 2016-17 we are increasing our focus in India and China. We are also working with a number of partner organizations (e.g. ShareAction) to accelerate recruitment and help members to reach their 100% renewable electricity goals (e.g. WBCSD Lctpi, Rocky Mountain Institute’s Business Renewables Center). Each of our teams in America, India and China has a work plan and there is an overall communications strategy.
+|Roadmap and work plan=In 2017 we are increasing the breadth and depth of the RE100 campaign. There will be a greater focus of work in India and China and we will be looking at influencing supply chains. We continue to work with a number of partner organizations (e.g. ShareAction) to accelerate recruitment and help members to reach their 100% renewable electricity goals (e.g. WBCSD Lctpi, Rocky Mountain Institute’s Business Renewables Center).
-|How are you tracking progress of your initiative=Participants are encouraged to report to CDP's climate change questionnaire, or as a minimum report basic data such as total electricity consumption and total renewable electricity use on an annual basis. Progress towards RE100 goals are tracked as a percentage of total renewable electricity used in total electricity consumption of a company's entire operations. This is reported in our Annual Report every January, and included in company profiles on our website.

-|Progress that has been made by your initiative=Campaign has grown to 81 companies (at Climate Week NYC 2016), from 14 companies when the campaign was launched at Climate Week NYC in 2014. They are creating demand for over 100TWh of renewable electricity – more than enough to power Morocco three times over.

-The Annual Report, published in January 2016 http://media.virbcdn.com/files/f9/d6e716c56a9b3312-RE100AnnualReport2016_v17.pdf , showed that the 45 companies in the campaign at that time were on average half way to achieving their 100% goals, with companies in the retail sector having switched the largest amount of electricity to renewables (10,764,000 MWh) and those in the IT sector being closest to achieving their 100% goals (averaging at 64% progress).
-We are currently analyzing data for the 2017 Annual Report and expect to report on geographical demand and strategies for going 100% renewable.
-|Tracking adaptation progress (quantitative)=By tracking progress of members to being 100% powered by renewables, RE100 is showing how businesses are adapting their energy strategies, taking climate action measures and driving the clean energy transition. Through our online case studies, events and media work we highlight how members are adapting their business models to address climate change – for example, IKEA is now stocking solar panels and LED lighting in its stores. http://there100.org/ikea
+|Tracking adaptation progress (quantitative)=By tracking the progress of members to being 100% powered by renewables, RE100 is showing how businesses are adapting their energy strategies in different regions to help drive the clean energy transition. Through key speaking opportunities, online articles, events and media work we highlight how members are adapting their business models to address climate change – for example, IKEA is now stocking solar panels and LED lighting in its stores. http://re100.org/ikea
 |Tracking mitigation progress (quantitative)=RE100 does not track the carbon savings of companies as they work towards their 100% renewable power targets, rather data on electricity consumption and use of renewables (including different options deployed and where).
 |Tracking finance progress(quantitative)=We highlight how much money our members invest in renewable power and climate change initiatives – for example Goldman Sachs http://there100.org/goldman-sachs
-set a 10-year target to deploy $40 billion of capital in financing and investment to scale-up clean energy globally. Since then, they have mobilized more than $33 billion for solar, wind, smart grid and other clean technologies.
+set a 10-year target to deploy $40 billion of capital in financing and investment to scale-up clean energy globally. We also showcase savings being made by businesses through renewable energy - for example General Motors is saving $5 million annually http://there100.org/news/14230419.
-|Available reporting=Company data is made available in the RE100 Annual Report, published in January, including progress towards achieving 100% renewable power and the different options of renewables that companies are using, where available. All participants are made aware of the data that will be made publicly available when reporting.

-|How to join your initiative=Companies must set a public target to be 100% powered by renewable power, and agree to report basic electricity consumption & renewable power use data annually to the campaign. We have a target list of companies to recruit but often companies come to us first, having read about the campaign in the media, having seen it showcased at high profile events such as Climate Week NYC, or through word of mouth.
+|How to join your initiative=Our approach is to engage the world's most influential companies. Members must set a public target to be 100% powered by renewable power across their global operations, and agree to report basic electricity consumption & renewable power use data annually.
