Transparency over energy use renewable energy procurement energy efficiency public advocacy. Among those given the lowest grade were Twitter and Reddit, both of which had failed to disclose information about their energy usage, Greenpeace said. "The company announced in 2015 that it intended to fully offset its carbon footprint, but a closer examination reveals it is likely turning to carbon offsets or unbundled renewable energy credits, which do little to increase renewable energy investment." Korean internet services company Naver was praised for being the "First Asian company to commit to 100% renewable energy". "Leading tech companies in the US have shown that clean power can be both good for the environment and for business," said Jude Lee, senior climate and energy campaigner at Greenpeace East Asia.
