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.
Companies that pledge will receive practical, step-by-step guidance to help them take concrete action to decarbonise their businesses. They will also save on their energy bills and receive recognition for their efforts.
