Hasbro Sets 100% Renewable Energy and Carbon Neutrality Goal for its Global Operations

Hasbro reaffirms its commitment to sustainability through
renewable energy initiatives in support of a low carbon economy

PAWTUCKET, R.I.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), a global play and entertainment company,
today announced that it has set a 100 percent renewable energy use and
carbon neutrality goal across its owned and operated global operations.
For the past two years, Hasbro has achieved its previous goal of 100
percent renewable energy and carbon neutrality in the U.S. This goal
builds on that achievement and extends Hasbro’s commitment to 100
percent renewable energy and carbon neutrality globally.

The new global goal builds on a longstanding commitment to climate
action leadership, and Hasbro has made significant progress already to
achieve the goal. Specifically, Hasbro purchased 25,699 megawatt-hours
of renewable energy certificates (RECs) to address 99.6 percent¹
of its 2016 global electricity consumption. Additionally, the company
purchased carbon offsets in 2016 to address its global carbon footprint.
Cumulatively, this reduction in Hasbro’s carbon footprint is similar to
growing 766,411 trees per year for 10 years or not using 69,513 barrels
of oil.

“Through renewable energy advancements, Hasbro continues to demonstrate
our deep commitment to the environment and our desire to play a
leadership role in building a safe and sustainable world for future
generations,” said Brian Goldner, chairman and CEO, Hasbro, Inc. “We
embrace our role in supporting the transformation of our world to a
low-carbon economy, and support programs that not only minimize our
impact on the environment, but also have a lasting positive impact on
our planet.”

In 2015, Hasbro joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)
Green Power Partnership and qualified for the U.S. EPA’s Green Power
Leadership Club, a distinction given to organizations that have
significantly exceeded the U.S. EPA’s recommended minimum renewable
energy purchase commitment. Hasbro has been recognized as one of the
world’s leading companies for its CSR and sustainability efforts,
including being ranked No. 1 on the 2017 100 Best Corporate Citizens
list by CR Magazine and named one of the World’s Most Ethical
Companies^® according to the Ethisphere Institute for six
consecutive years. Hasbro is also currently ranked No. 1 on Newsweek
Magazine’s Green Ranking.

“At Hasbro, our commitment to sustainability runs deep, and we are
continuously looking for purposeful and innovative ways to reduce our
environmental footprint,” said Kathrin Belliveau, senior vice president,
Global Government Affairs and Corporate Responsibility. “Climate
leadership is critically important, not only to our business but also to
our employees, our consumers and our world.”

Hasbro purchased renewable energy certificates and carbon offsets from
3Degrees, the nation’s leading provider of comprehensive clean energy
services that enable organizations and individuals to transition towards
a low-carbon economy. The renewable energy certificates are from a mix
of renewable resources including wind, solar, biomass, landfill gas, or
hydroelectric sources. Hasbro purchased from projects located near major
facilities in North America, South America, Asia and Europe. All
projects were independently verified and certified by the appropriate
international standards agencies, including Green-e Energy National
Standard, European Energy Certificate System, the I-REC Standard and the
Climate Action Reserve.
