Explanation:
It probably depends what the company's objective is here: to show that it has taken up the idea of renewable energy in earnest or to say: we've been doing this, we've been producing environmentally friendly ovens (= that's where we come in) and we fit this "theme" exactly.

The word "ansetzen" is more in the sense of "an eine Idee anknüpfen". I would see it more as taking up this idea / concept.

Suggestions:

we have incorporated this idea/the concept of renewable energy into our (oven) product line
