What makes you care about the Covenant of Companies and reducing energy usage?

Reducing energy use brings financial benefits to the company, but it's not only the energy usage reduction, it is the energy efficiency of the company that brings multiple benefits. It, with bill reduction, also influences employees, productivity, environment, local community, assets, values of the company, and its positioning. Covenant of Companies is a way to target the challenge where it happens - locally, to approach companies directly, their networks, and their communities.

What can the private sector do to speed up our energy transition to net-zero?

Join the Covenant of Companies initiative to receive direct information and assistance in transitioning to net zero and resolve issues faced in the process - technical challenges, lack of own capacities, lack of information, availability of financing, finding out on how to integrate energy management in your business management.
