There are many barriers slowing down the adoption of procuring renewable and green energy for suppliers all over the world , which in turn causes challenges for large companies trying to implement their own sustainability strategies . Some of the largest companies in the world have now formed an alliance in the Clean Energy Procurement Academy ( CEPA ) to equip companies with the skills and knowledge required to access clean energy .

The partnership has foundational support from Apple , Amazon , Meta , Nike , PepsiCo and REI Co-op and is designed to speed up the integration of clean energy procurement into global supply chains by blending in-person and online training , along with comprehensive educational resources .
