The Covenant of Companies for Climate and Energy (CCCE) is a new pilot initiative led by the European Commission (DG Energy) to encourage and support European companies, in particular small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to step up their contribution to a clean energy transition and climate action and increase private investments in clean energy Research & Innovation (R&I), technologies and solutions.
Businesses can make a pledge with the CCCE whereby they commit to taking action to reduce their carbon emissions. There are four possible levels of commitment which reflect where companies are on their journey to decarbonisation.
Whatever the commitment, companies will receive practical, step-by-step guidance and technical assistance to help them take concrete action to decarbonise their businesses. They will also save on their energy bills and receive recognition for their efforts.
